SCALING GLITCH: Importing SolidWorks SLDPRT files as .dwg files into Revit .rfa Families

[charleswXB6NJ]

All the manufacturers for specialty products are using SolidWorks software. We are not receiving Revit .rfa files for their model elements and assemblies. 

Have 50 SolidWorks SLDPRT files that come in at the wrong scale once they have been converted to AutoCad .dwg

files, and imported in Revit as a CAD file to create a Revit .rfa.

SolidWorks .STP files and STEP files work perfectly.

But with SLDPRT files, it does not matter what you set the scale in AutoCad at, they still come into Revt as an .rfa at no particular size. Usually miniature versions.

Have tried most of the "solutions," on this forum and still does not work correctly.

Does anybody know of a batch file processor for Revit, or AutoCad OR have a workaround for this scale issue with SolidWorks SLDPRT files?

Have tried AutoCad 2020, and AutoCad 2024 same results.

Using Revit 2020, Windows 10, and lots of coffee.

Thank you,

Chuck Walker

Are you posting in the more relevant REVIT forum yet? You seem to only be using AutoCAD only as a waypoint, so your issue is really about how to import SOLIDWORKS files into REVIT (or even DWG to REVIT).

If you interact with SOLIDWORKS files all the time, the Autodesk software match for best conversions is INVENTOR, not AutoCAD.
