Imported archicad drawing is showing wrong scale

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a dwg made from Archicad but when open a door scales 75,0000 which should be 1500mm. 

How do I change the scale?

Did Archicad make the DWG file?
Perhaps it did some scaling before the export.

75,0000 is not a number. Did you mean 750,000? Or 75,000? It makes a difference since 750,000 is 1,500*500, and 75,000 is 1,500*50.

The dwg was made in Archicad first.
The dim is defiantly showing 75,0000 for a door which should be 1500mm

SCALE command not an option? ALIGN command has a scaling option you can use too.

75.0000 for in North America, OP wants 1500.00

What do i need to\ do to change this?
Scale or something else?

[pendean]

SCALE command is explained in HELP if you need a quick refresher on how to use it.

Looks like you need to scale by 20 if you want to go from 75 to 1500, don't you agree?

Thank You, scale factor of 20 did work but my dim for a door is 1500,0000. 

You mentioned OP? PREVIOUSLY is this something i need to change too. 

I think I'm halfway there.

Good point. Maybe the forum should let help identify users with a flag, as in below?
