CAD Import drawing scale in DCIM Operations 7.4

[DCIM_Support]

I tried to import a CAD floor layout into DCO 7.4 and it is importing successful but with wrong scale and wrong dimensions. The dimensions on the rooms created using room detector is coming wrong. Is there a Standard Scale that we need to setup in the CAD drawing before we import, so that the dimensions and zoom to get complete floor layout in the preview is achieved.

Could you please add some screen captures to illustrate the issue and your expected "correct" dimensions/scale.

DWG drawing must have measurement units (eg. mm or inches) specified to allow import drawing at correct scale:  CAD Import Supported Entities

Hi Jef, Can you please advise where do we specify measurements for the DWG drawing. Thanks & Regards Shemil

Hi shemilusman the units of measure is specified in the DWG file it self. It is changed using AutoCAD - here is a good tutorial that explains how to change the units of measure in autocad: https://youtu.be/t7Kr0P0GYHE

Hi Brian, I took the liberty of asking this as a separate question and tagging you, as you most likely will not get an answer in here 🙂 Hope it helps! /Kristoffer
