Hello there

New here and first question already so please bear with me

I have imported a known site DWG file into ViaCAD 2d 9 and changed the units to metres

When i try and scale off the drawing using the tape measure tool then the reading i get is not accurate

For example when i check the diameter of a circle it gives a reading of 0.045 when i know for fact the diameter on site is 12.5m

Please let me know how to get the drawing usable

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Mark

Hi Mark

When you imported the file what did you select in the drop down for file units?
