Block scaling problem

Anonymous — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 10:17:37 GMT

When I insert a basin, which is 400mm x 500mm from the blocks library, it becomes 125350mm x 163453mm. How do change it to correct size

Thanks

Hi,

look to the units in the source drawing and in the destination drawing, if the settings are different then AutoCAD does the scaling for you.

If the units are set to <Unitless> then see the setting in system variable INSUNITS.

You might also look to >>>this thread<<< working with some commands about different drawing- and system-specific settings of units.
