White dots on the outline, shows where the gap is.  Both endpoints need joining on the top of the A plate, and this one here.Opnsketh2.PNGOpnskethc.PNG

 

Finding them with crossing temporary lines is one way.

Source program is not telling fusion what size it is.  MM > CMetres

The units of the original file are Inches, not mm.

Ask the source to run the -dwgunits command (with preceding - sign) and change to option  #3. mm.

Can you be little more specific. This is all new new to me so I'm trying to
figure out the lingo. Is there a way I can change the measurements?

You said it is 10 times too big, 

select all the sketch articles, but not the anchor point to make the change, usually the sketch Origin.  

 

Sketch > Scale, Select the articles, then select the anchor, type in, 0.1, and OK.

 

Might help....
