Blocks are reallarger when inserting them

I made a drawing of several symbols tobeconverted into blocks.  The first symbol was great. Subsequent symbols appeared to be scaled somewhere X100 when I tried to insert them.  I reviewed what Icould and could not nail down athe problem and correct it.  What did I do wrong?

When you define a new block, please remove "Annotative" as shown below:

I didn't include annotative, but I did check scale uniformly and allow exploding. Referring to the message of Please remove annotative as shown below, there was nothing below. I tried without these and the result was the same.

What units are your block using? Are the same as the drawing.

 

eg. If your block is using inches as it's units and the drawing is using millimetres the block will be 25.4 times bigger.

Can you post the offending drawing.

 

Also do the following

 

Click on TOOLS

Click on OPTIONS

Choose the tab which says USER PREFERENCES

 

On the left you will see INSERTION SCALE.

 

What are the two settings there. Change them to UNITLESS to be on the safe side, and then try inserting your block again.
