The reciever must use the same unit or scale will be off, example 1 dwgunit = 1 ", or better, 1 dwgunit = 1 mm <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_wink.gif" style="display : inline;" /><BR /> <BR /> However, I remember a bug in the AC9 dwgtranslator - it incorrecly didn't set the INSUNITS parameter to the same DWGUNIT. But I thought that affected only metric translations.

I have an Archicad drawing, drawn at 1/4" scale, that I saved as a DWG file. The end user says that she works in Modelspace at 1/8", I believe she uses AutoCAD 2000. She says that the dwg file I send her is very small. What should be 18' for example scales on her computer as about 4 1/2".<BR /> <BR /> What could I be doing wrong?<BR /> <BR /> Also - she said everything seems to be grouped in a block and is difficult to edit.<BR /> <BR /> I have been saving these from Archicad 9, from Plotmaker I just got Archicad 11 and have tried saving form there as well but the end result seems to be the same on her end.<BR /> <BR /> Mac G4 OSX 10.4.10<BR /> <BR /> Thanks</T></DIV> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 20:16:27 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/scale-off-in-DWG-output-to-AutoCAD/m-p/34622#M3014 Anonymous 2007-09-11T20:16:27Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/scale-off-in-DWG-output-to-AutoCAD/m-p/34623#M3015 Scale depends on the DWGUNIT that you set in your translator when exporting.
