Hello people of the AutoCAD universe... Today is the day I finally cave in and make a post. I've been able to find answers for all my other questions except for this one.
Problem: Attached is are images of the problem I am experiencing. I am working with a very old .dwg file, converted from .dgn from Microstation. There are doors and frames floating out in space in all directions, on all 5 levels.
Final goal: Bring the clean .dwgs into Revit as links or imports to build a full 3D model from.
Image 1: I have scaled the original drawing by 12, so 1" = 1". Prior to that, the doors were still floating out in space. The blue cross is where the origin is. Upon further zoom in, you can see...
Image 2: All of the Block References have insertion points exactly where the doors need to go. It seems that the distances of the doors relative to their insertion points have been scaled by some factor. I'm not sure how I'd go about scaling them back. I really want to avoid moving every single door back in its proper place.
Image 3 & 4: Image of 2 doors and their corresponding insertion points. You can see how far apart they are in relation to how close they need to be.
Image 5: Additional, but not critical, question: is there a preset translation of the 63 Microstation layers into AutoCAD? I've also spent some time looking for this, to no avail. You can see I've attached what I think each layer corresponds to, but some I am clueless about.
Thanks in advance!
