When inserting, you need to use the scale option. Or maybe check to see what your insertion units are. Or you may be inserting imperial blocks in a metric drawing.

I would suggest that instead of using the INSERTION SCALE you use the -DWGUNITS command, as it is more comprehensive, and includes the

option to set the INSERTION UNITS as one part of it. Press F2 to open your commandline text window while are using it,

as you will want to be able to see 8 or 10 lines to better understand your available options.

Read carefully and follow the prompts, there are about a half dozen different steps.

 

Run the -DWGUNITS command before inserting those blocks, after which I suspect your issue will be resolved.

 

It is not uncommon for users to be working on an inappropriate template type, meaning METRIC instead of IMPERIAL,

or visa versa, if you change your INSERTION UNITS without first ascertaining what the REAL data base units are

in your drawing (as opposed to what you hope of think they are), there is a high likelihood of being lead further

astray when setting them based upon an erroneous assumption.

Yeah, what you said. I still fail to think of that. LT doesn't have dwgunits.

Not sure if AutoCAD 2006 has it either.

Provas,

 

Blocks are wonderful things and the ability to download blocks from the internet is an even more wonderful thing. There is a drawback though that you must be aware of, those blocks that you download will almost never conform to your expectations. In many cases you do not know who created them, nor do you have an assurance that they are accurate or well made. You need to establish a routine where you open the block drawing and examine the contents before using them. In some case you will determine that some changes are needed even before you use them.

 

Don't expect that you can just download a block and use them.
