ColinHolloway Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi All, I am having an issue where drawings Published from AutoCAD as DWF files measure differently between Layout and Model in Design Review. To test I drew a cube 1000x1000x1000mm and in the layout it measures correctly but in the Model it measures 1000in (or 25400mm when the 3D Units are changed to Millimeters) Even when I set the 3D Units to Millimeters by default and re-open the drawing, the measurement is still 25400mm. What am I missing? Thanks, Colin Holloway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 You might want to run the -DWGUNITS command (include the hyphen) to confirm that the drawing database units are what you expect them to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinHolloway Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I have just checked the drawing units using the -DWGUNITS as suggested and all is set to metric and millimeters as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Well that is good news, there are a whole lot of folks who would be surprised by what they might learn if they took that simple step. It was worth a shot, congratulations for having gotten that right It is very important to nail down all the parameters before attacking any problem.

ColinHolloway Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I agree! I also checked that MEASUREMENT and MEASUREINIT were both set to 1. Any more thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
