Pretty much what it says.  Just continue.  I've found that dialog come up even when units settings are identical and so usually ignore it. I also hate the unequally scaled block warning, since it relates to everything in the drawing(s) not just what is actually being extracted.

Hi,

 

can you please:

  • start command _ABOUT and show us a screenshot ... just to see which product and version you have (in products like Civil 3D it is indeed possible that you have different settings for units, like the one in _AECDWGSETUP and within _UNITS dialog, also -DWGUNITS can show different settings compared to _UNITS)
  • upload the dwg-file that creates that message

Hi,

 

thank you for your screenshot, it shows that you have not installed any updates, please start with that!

The _ABOUT dialog should look like that:

Then please start command _AECDWGUNITS and make sure you have the correct units set in that dialog, after that start command _UNITS and verify that the same units are set inside that dialog.

 

Does _DATAEXTRACTION then work well?
