nestly Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Your drawing is in Imperial units, so the Metric block is being scaled to Inches when inserted into the drawing. If you're working primarily in Metric units, then you should probably start with a Metric Template, otherwise in addition to blocks, linetype scaling (among other things) will also be messed up. The attached drawing is not a saved copy of the drawing in the video, it's actually the block you've already edited, which I've inserted into the Metric drawing template. If you want to start completely clean, then open a metric template and insert a the metric door the toolpalette, as shown in the video. Watch in full screen for best results....

ReMark Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) That confirms the advice both SLW210 (1st) and I (2nd) gave the OP previously. Let us hope that having a third person confirm it will prompt her to finally follow the advice. Everyone wants MemberX to get off on the right foot and not introduce needless errors that would only come back to plague the drawing later. Thanks for the video nestly. Nice job.

[ Thank you so much nestly ...I have understood ...I actually I thought I am working in metric because I used UNITS command to set in millimeters at the beginning. I tried it.I got width 1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an impartial observer, having been back through this thread, it is easy to understand a certain amount of exasperation and frustration on the parts of everyone concerned. I can't help but notice that SLW210 provided a fixed drawing 33 posts ago, which seems to have gone unnoticed. Be that as it may, three highly regarded forum members continued to try to assist you, for no other reason than they all wanted to help. Nice graphic nestly, sort of cut through the fog. We all need help now and again, we all make mistakes, but we don't all spend as much time and energy as these 3 do, trying to solve the problem of others. We all have day jobs here, and other responsibilities, and perhaps better ways to spend our free time. Yet we keep coming back. Glad you now understand and will hopefully be able to meet your deadline. Edited February 26, 2012 by Dadgad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood your question and just like two other forum members I too came to the same conclusion. You're misreading that line you refer to (the one in red). Leaving the forum is entirely up to you. I haven't suggested that and no one else has either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 MemberX: Sorry to learn of your hasty departure. Perhaps this Inidan AutoCAD Help site might be of more benefit to you. http://indiacad.11.forumer.com/ Be forewarned there does not appear to much activity at the site and the number of active members nowhere approaches what you'll find here at CADTutor. Other AutoCAD Help sites are.... The CADforum http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/default.asp CAD Everything http://www.cadeverything.com/help/forum.php The Swamp http://www.theswamp.org/ All of the above utilize English as the main language.
