    Importing text, blocks and attributes are too big

    I'll try to import a text file with a string: pointnumber, easting, northing, elevation, discription, but I get very big blocks and attributes in my drawing. I use Autocad 2011 Map 3D, on a windows XP OS. I'll importing the text string with the import command. Easting and Northing are for the position. The Elevation, pointnumber and discription are attributes from a block. I can only choose a block: "Map_Survey_point" This is the only block I can choose. When I import the text, the scale from the importing blocks are too big. How can I change the size of the block and attributes? Anybode an idea?

    Please use plain text.

    You can use Quick Select "qselect" after you import the points then change the  scale in the property palette. I have no idea why the default is so large or why they scale up.
