sirsebast Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 HI all, I don't know sometime I take drawing from my customer, I export a dxf and I import in solidworks but sometime de units change the drawings was in metric but solidwork put in inchand drawing is really metric and when a importg to mastercam it's ok . Why ??? Quote
ReMark Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Could it be that's what "insertion units" are specified? Quote
sirsebast Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Solidwork takes insertion units from autocad. Quote
ReMark Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Solidwork takes insertion units from autocad. So there's no problem then right? Quote
sirsebast Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Where can I change the insertion units in autocad if the drawings was in metric Quote
ReMark Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I'm confused. If the dxf file was made from an AutoCAD dwg file that was done in metric in the first place and Solidworks changes it to imperial upon insertion then it is a Solidworks problem and not an AutoCAD problem. Why is it an AutoCAD problem? Quote
sirsebast Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Is it possible because my drawing is unitless ??? Quote
ReMark Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Do you know for a fact that the original drawing was done in metric units or did you just assume that it was? Quote
sirsebast Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 I talk to the customer and I said it was draw with unitless. But all ove my drawing was in unitless and it's works. Quote
ReMark Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 It must be my audible receptors but I did not understand a word of what you just said. When you import a dxf file into Solidworks what options are available to you? Quote
