Layout from Template problem

[TheCan]

Hi!

 

I'm having a scale-problem when inserting a layout from one drawing(A) to another (B) using the command layout;t;

 

For some reason the layout that's inserted in my drawing (B) get scaled by some factor. I've the same units (meter) in both drawings and the annotation scale are also the same.

 

I tried to do it the other way around, inserting a layout from B to A and then there are no problem.

 

Any ideas?

Does this shed any light on the situation for you?

Can someone clarify why according to the FAQ - INSUNITS 13 and 14 are both microns? According to the help file in 2010, INSUNITS 14 should be Decimeters.

Point raised with the FAQ team

Strix: I have INSUNITS, INSUNITSDEFSOURCE and INSUNITSDEFTARGET set to 6 in both drawings but the layout still gets scaled...

[dbroada]

what is the scale factor? constant or random?

[TheCan]

dbroada: I think it's constant. The layout gets scaled with a factor of 1000, which indicates a typical meter to mm problem, but i can't find out what is the problem...

[dbroada]

have you gone in to the "problem" file and checked that the units are set to 6 in there. I have had problems with the INS* variables not behaving as expected in the past.

[TheCan]

yes I've set the INS* variables in both files

[dbroada]

and the UNITS? It sometimes seems to override the INS* variables.

[TheCan]

The units are meter i both drawings

[dbroada]

Sorry, but that's me out of ideas then.
