Block Copy and Paste in Wrong Scale!

Anonymous — Mon, 01 Jul 2019 19:17:51 GMT

Hi Guys,

I made fixtures with power symbol blocks in a standard cad file. However, when I copied and pasted the fixture block into another file, the power symbol became tremendously big.

I've checked two files and block unit, they are all in millimeters.

And they are all not annotative blocks. Don't know why the power symbol scale changed.

Is anyone knows how I can fix the problem?

Big appreciate! Thanks!

Block with correct scale in the block standard file

Power & Signal Symbol became tremendously big in the plan file after copied and pasted

Two files are attached.

Match the anno scale.

Thanks.

It works now. But just curious that the block is not annotative, why the block scale changed?

If that fix was needed, your block in that file is annotative.

Hi Pendean,

Thanks for the comment. However, the block is not annotative, and the block's scale still changes.

The blocks work when I placed them into 1:50 plan, however, the same problem happens when I placed them into 1:75 plan.

Can you share your block in a DWG file that exhibits the problem so we can all try it?

Hi Pendean,

Please see the file below.

When the 1:50 scale; it works fine.

But when we change into 1:75, all power symbol becomes tremendously big.

1:50 Scale

1:75 Scale
