Exporting to CAD scale issue

Hi there! When exporting to CAD from Revit, the drawing is getting scaled down, so it is at a scale when opening in AutoCAD. I have checked my export units---snip attached of the current settings. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Scaled down to what? 90%, half, quarter?

Hi @ToanDN Thanks for the quick reply! It appears to be doing something like 1:10---so 10' in our drawing is coming up as 10" in CAD---see attached screen grab. 

 

 

Thank you!

That is 1:12.  What are you Project Units set to?

No, I am asking for your Project Units settings, not Export settings.  Look for it under Manage > Project Units.

Nothing unusual.

Can you share the model?
