Please help! I've imported a DWG file (floorplan) to Vectorworks and the scale is completely wrong. When I try to draw new objects onto the plan they appear massive - and it says I cannot change the layer scale when I try to under 'Document Set-Up'.
Have tried "Modify - Scale Objects - Symmetric by distance" but the measurements are still wrong on the supposedly corrected drawing.
Have tried to create a new design layer on top with the correct scale, but when I do I can't even see the DWG layer underneath (whichever "View - Class Option" I select. It doesn't let me change the Layer Option to "show/snap others" - not sure if this would help?).
I am a CAD novice so really struggling, and need to import this DWG successfully to even get started! Any help would be massively appreciated
