zoomer Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Did you check at which Units you want to import at the DWG import dialog ? Quote Link to comment
Art V Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 In addition to checking the units you may also want to check the scale setting when importing the dwg file if there are already layers in your drawing, i.e. if the scale does not match that of the existing layers the size will not match the rest of the drawing. The autoscale suggestion can occasionally be quite a bit off. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Zoomer and art are probably correct. If you have any objects that have known dimensions you can measure them and determine the amount the scale is off. 25.4 or 0.0394 is inches and millimeters. 12 or 0.0833 is inches and feet 39.37 or .0254 is inches and meters If you have not done anything else, and you have imported into a blank document, you can use the Scale command and check the Entire Drawing box to get the object sizes correct. But you might be better off just reimporting with the proper units. Quote Link to comment
