Hello Community,
I have opened a large floor plan - half of the blocks (door, windows) are showing at a much smaller scale.
Is there a way to change their size globally?

WBLOCK a piece of your drawing and post it here if you cannot or are not allowed to post the entire file.
Also, any Imperial to Metric scalng going on with your work?

Hello Charles,
Attached is portion of the dwg in query - trust it serves the purpose.

You did not do as I suggested, actually measuring anything, did you 😞 You could have solved this on your own.
Your metric walls (it should be 100mm, but in your file, 8'-4" wide) have 36mm doors in them (these should be 36" doors).
Your file is a bad scaled mess, it's an Metric plan inside an Imperial scale DWG file where the plan was not scaled correctly.
AutoCAD only understands UNITS as, well, nothing but UNITS. we humans determine if a unit is mm or inch or mile. Rescale your file to be Imperial scale if you work in inches, or change the scale of your doors and windows to be in mm and not inches: explore using -DWGUNITS command to fix it.
Hello Dean,
Thank you for this - I can appreciate your frustration - although I did not take any measurements I was aware of the mixed scaling problem but did know really whwere to start.
So armed with your advice and the tools you have indicated I can proceed to sort out the dwg.
Sadly this is a hugh base plan, probably pre-2004, which was clearly set-up as imperial with efforts made over the years to convert to metric.
We are working in metric, so wish me luck.
Kind regards,
Gray
