AB_151995 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi All, Hoping that you can help me, I'm still learning the basics of VW, but I've never had to import a dwg etc before. I have a cad file which has to be at 1:500 on either an A1 or A0 (in this instance it is an A0) I imported the dwg as > Import single DXF / DWG into VW changed the units to > Use Vectorworks Document Units and chose >This Scale and clicked 1:500. Everything seemed ok until I created a viewport and sheet layout - I set up the sheet layout as an A0 and when the viewport comes in at 1:500 it is tiny I even tried it on an A4 and I couldn't even see the viewport as it was that small! I hope that makes sense. Please someone tell me what im doing wrong? Quote Link to comment
Chad Hamilton HAArchs Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Check out this video - Check known dimensions on a design layer - if all else fails, try scaling your import so that the dimension of an object in the DWG file is correctly dimensioned to the scale of the design layer.
