Hi, Ive just been given a load of old DWGs that i need to update and add new LX bars into on Vectorworks. Usually importing files is no bother to me and i am able to get on with working but something very strange is happening to the scaling.
every time i try to import the dwg the scaling between the import layer and the new lx bars layer is way out. both are set to 1:1 while im working on them, so when i draw a bar which is 3000mm wide it blows up and is huge! whats more odd is i can see on the original DWG file the scaling box someone has drawn is 1000mm. when i import it into vectorworks the scaling box reduces to 40 (im assuming cm) and the text indicating its size also changes. Its all very strange and im completely lost now!!
I have attached the DWG here. If someone could take a look for me i would be most appreciative. Its proably something really straight forward but im lost!
