Hi all
Always when I import dwg drawings from Autocad. The dimensions in the drawing gets scaled way too big. I have tried changing the import units, but with no luck. Is there a way to import dimensions from a dwg correctly?
Thanks

I´m also facing this problem… anyone found a solution?
yeh its a pain, I import a lot of dwg lineworks. You have to select the annotation style and apply scaling

Is there no way of configuring this beforehand?
Hi Miguel -
Could you provide a simple DWG file that shows this behavior?

Sorry for the lateness… here again the same problem. Now the text “height” in the dimension is 300 something out of nowhere… I thought it was because Vectorworks specifies the height in points and not in mm, but I tried again, changing the specification and the text remains gigantic…
Thanks, Miguel -
On the list as RH-70555 File IO: Dimension text height from DWG
-wim
It may be related to the DPI versus scene units. A dimension saved to render as 300 DPI may end up imported with a height of 300 mm. Just a suggestion.
Mail, If you uncheck Enable Model Space Scaling in Annotation Styles do you get the results you expect?
