Distances are incorrect


Recommended Posts

Posted

Have a drawing of details from a client. The details dimension correctly and everything seems accurate. When I try to draw a line or offeset something at a specific distance it doesnt match up with the existing details. i.e. offset 5 inches really comes out to like maybe 2 on the drawing

Turn your UCS icon on

View your drawing from a SE view.

 

Most likely you will see that the drawing is made up of lines at various Z values and the current coordinate system is not the WCS.

 

Let us know what you see after doing this.

 

Or the vendor's drawing is just not at a full 1:1 scale

The first thing i thought of was that it prob wasnt to scale, but in fact it is. Actually I will admit how dumb I will look after this one! My numlock was on. Problem solved. How dumb do i look now?!?!
