setting scale for different cad files

Anonymous
Not applicable

someone sent me a model that appears to have the scale set properly on some of the files and some not. I can tell when I measure a dimension and know should be 7' as written on the picture, but reads 1 and 3/4 on the AutoCAD web app.

 

On some of the files, the dimensions read properly within the same set. 

 

How do I set the scale for an individual file inside a set?

 

thank you, Billy G

Ask the sender to correct them for you, or ask if they sent them to you at a specific scale other than 1:1.

otherwise you will need to do the math then SCALE command to fix them in the webapp.

Thank you for your reply. That's basically what I was thinking and it is nice to hear from someone else on this.

 

This was my first post on here.

 

Thank you,

Hi BG,

 

If you are able to post the drawing I could take a look at it and help you understand what's going on. 

 

Best regards,
