alijahed Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Hi All, I have a problem which I haven't had before! when I insert a block in one of my drawings it appears as a 2-3 times bigger! but when I copy that block from somewhere else and paste it, there is no problem with that! I have no idea about that can anybody help me? Cheers Ali Quote
Igopako Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 try purging your drawing seems you have old blocks that have scaled 2-3 times bigger Quote
alijahed Posted September 5, 2008 Author Posted September 5, 2008 PURGE doesn't fix the problem. try purging your drawing seems you have old blocks that have scaled 2-3 times bigger Quote
GE13579 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Also have a look at the Insert dialogue box- is the Scale showing 1,1,1 for X,Y,Z? Quote

Cheers Ali Do you insert it from a palette? because if you do it could be that the scale option (under properties) is set to something besides 1... good luck! Quote
alijahed Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 sorry for the delay. I've learned many things from you up to now, thank u guys; but I still have that problem it doesn't happened on all the blocks only on few of them! for inserting the block I use Insert>Block.

Dipali Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 check the blocks units , if it is unit less. than this can happen. Quote
dbroada Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 is the 2-3 times bigger really 2,54 times bigger? If so I'm with Dipali on AutoCAD assuming you are inserting a metric (although done in cm not mm) into an imperial drawing. I hate the intelligence AutoCAD now shows. Have you checked your INS* variable as she suggested? Quote
alijahed Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 "insunits" was the answer!! but in whole drawing I checked that it was in both but I think in that block which is a dynamic one something was wrong because I copied that block in a new drawing and remove the visibility list and change it to a simple block and after that when I checked the "insunits" it was !!!! a bit confusing I agree with you in "I hate the intelligence AutoCAD":wink: but anyway thank u guys for helping as always is the 2-3 times bigger really 2,54 times bigger?
