junkie_ball Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi, I have been given a drawing which originally used inches as the primary insertion unit. As i live in europe i perfer to use millimetres. When i copy the drawing into a new file which has mm (millimetre) as the insertion unit the drawing appears extremely scaled down is this normal? When using a template using inches as a primary insertion unit the drawing appears as if drawn at 1:1 scale as you would expect? Any ideas?

Tankman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 You could scale the original (inches) drawings to millimeters. Then, you could work in mm's. Scale the drawing x 25.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipali Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 open a blank drawing. go to tools>options>user preference> & under 'insertion scale', set 'source content unit' to 'inches' & 'target drawing unit' to 'milimeter'. Also make 'insunits' value '4'(mm) and than bring in this exisitng drawing there using insert comand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
