ReMark Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 There is no need to triple post a question. Please show some patience. Thank you. Can't you just scale the drawing? It also sounds like you are working with the equivalent of the wrong (AutoCAD) template assuming Solidworks gives the user a choice between metric and imperial. Please note that there is a Solidworks forum which you seemed to have missed all three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevsmith Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Silly question, are your units set to millimetres in AutoCAD? Are you using a metric .dwt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
