Xref block Units

aaroNVK33B — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 05:30:08 GMT

Every time when I open a new drawing and xref my title block - the dialogue box shows this units and factors - this factors and units cannot edited as well. I use metric system and both of my drawings are in metric units. Is there anything that I'm not fixing? Because of this - most of my drawings are out of scale.

I'm currently using AutoCAD Architecture 2024 - English as AutoCAD.

Hi,

your INSUNITS setting in xref Titleblock-DWG is set to?

Share your titleblock DWG file and a sample top-file DWG file with that XREFfed in it here: ensure the problem exists, then let everyone here help you fix your DWG files moving forward.

When I changed the INSUNITS from Xref to 1

and my working drawings to 4 and it works.

So you drawed your Titel/frame in Inches, but your working drawings are in Millimeter?

Unusual.

1. In Xref file, you changed insunits from 4 to 1,

but the title/frame is drawed in Millimeter, insunits 4 is correct!

Change it back to 4

2. Your drawing file.. Hey? That's also drawn in Millimeter, or not?

If Millimeter is right, change insunits to 4 (for Millimeter).

3. Still in your drawing file, select your External Reference

and change XYZ-Scale to 1
