It sounds like you have two drawings with disparate unit settings. You should know what units you drafted your drawing in; inches, millimeters, etc, but you need to check what units the other drawing is in too. This often happens when two drawings are drawn in differing units, such as one in inches and the other in millimeters.

 

For example, if your drawing is in inches and a reference length on your drawing was, say, 6 inches (units) and you are trying to insert it in to a drawing that is in millimeters, that reference length of yours (6 units) will only display in the drawing as 6 MILLIMETERS, not inches, so it will appear smaller.

 

The normal conversion factor for inches to millimeters is 25.4 as there are 25.4 millimeters in 1 inch.

 

Try selecting ALL of the objects in your drawing, and using the SCALE command, scale them up by a factor of 25.4 and then try to put your drawing in to the other drawing. If it's not that scale factor, I'm pretty sure it will be another one. If you need a list of scale/conversion factors for AutoCAD, Google is a great place to find them. Just type in "conversion scale factors for AutoCAD"
