Resizing Topo Survey

[itsnathanblake]

Hi guys,

Just been given a topo by an architect being in the wrong scale I'm trying to convert it to Meters so scaling the drawing 0.001 but everytime I do this it makes the drawing unusable. please open the attached and have a go at it for me and see if you can get it working.

Turned it into a block then scaled worked.

When moving it doesnt seem to move any of the texts on the points with it tho?

Hi Nathan,
"...convert it to Meters so scaling the drawing 0.001..."
Your drawing is in Inch Units. If you use -DWGUNITS to convert to Feet, as Emilio did, then your coordinates match the grid ticks. You could then use -DWGUNITS again to convert, without scaling, the drawing to Meters, but at this point I have to ask what units will make your drawing "usable".
