If you're details are not coming in correctly then it is a matter of getting the right scale factor upon insertion and also inserting at a uniform scale for both X and Y (usually the default). What insertion scale were you using?

[Rhayes]

Scale of 1 by default.

You're working with metric details in a metric drawing?

Drawing in Metric and want to bring in furnature details.

Metric details into a metric drawing shouldn't be a problem. I don't understand why the details you've tried to bring in do not come in correctly. Maybe I'm missing something. Were you using details done in an Imperial scale?

Yes, I only use Imperial and now I need to make my floor plan in metric.

Set your drawing units to meters first. then when u insert your block it should automatically scale correctly. If you are having problems then, try it using meters for your drawing and insert a block that you know is in feet. this will automatically come into ur drawing converted to metric size

25.4mm = 1 inch, so scale your furnature according. In New Zealand we normally work in millimetres as the unit, unless you are doing a civil drawing, which might be in metres. I have noticed in Europe they seem to use cm in their drawings.

set insunits value correctly in both the drawings. if your imperial dawing/blocks are unitless it will take the units of the your new metric drawing. by setting correct value for insuints & alos tools>options>userpreferences?>source units & target units correctly( whatever units are use to draw that particular drawing) it will come in at approprate size in different units drawings
