I'm guessing this dwg was originally created in AutoCAD? Inventor does not allow edits on AutoCAD dwg files, only on Inventor created dwg files. Hope this helps!

Dwg was create with AutoCad 2018 and imported on Inventor 2018 with
copy/paste. With other drawing was perfect but with someone else when
imported are out of scale.a line of 38.1mm. leght can be 530.3mm. or 900mm.
and for me is a problem
Today I tested with a SW and solved all problem,...but I spended money on
Inventor.

Hi! I believe it is related to MEASUREMENT setting in the dwg file. The geometry in an AutoCAD dwg file may not be true-scaled. To ensure that, you need to set MEASUREMENT to 1. Then, it will be imported correctly.

Or, you simply specify the import unit as "mm" as opposed to the dwg document unit "inch."

Many thanks!
