Correcting Scale from PDF Import

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have imported a pdf drawing into AutoCAD 2018. The scale on the pdf is 3/32" = 1' - 0". When I check the measurement in AutoCAD it's off. I've been searching for a couple hours now and can't seem to get it right. I've tried changing the scale from to 10 and 1000. How do I correct the scale in AutoCAD? See attached currently with scale changed to 10 prior to import. Scale Incorrect.PNG

As long as you have a known dimension in your PDF, just use SCALE with the reference option.

... or use ALIGN command with it scale option.

Do you have a known/for sure dimension? There is a good chance your PDF is not the correct scale either, print it to paper and measure it.
