attaching Autocad dwg's

Hello,

I'm trying to attach Autocad dwg's using the merge command - the drawings are placed at an angle and at a different scale in the Archicad dwg. Any tips. I've checked my ucs in autocad - all is well.

I'm using ArchiCAD 9 - thank you

Check your translator settings for the scale so that the Units settings mathces the one in AutoCAD. AS for the rotation if it is not too inconvenient rotate it in AC...

Not in my folders in US?
Any other possible locations?
Thanks,

It should be in the Documentation folder under your ArchiCAD folder. Might be a different name in the US installation.
