Folks Whenever I import a DWG file the text in the drawing looks either way to huge or microscopic. I don't have these issues when I open the same drawings up in AutoCad 2010, CorelCad or TurboCad. I am using Mac v8 2D/3D PS We already have 7 copies of ViaCad 2D/3D in our engineering and Production departments. but would also like to get 5 more copies for Customer Service, but this issue is a show stopper, any a dice would be helpful Vince

Luis Actually (correct me if I am wrong), your issue was opening a file in AutoCad. My issue is with opening a DWG in ViaCad 2D/3D v8. Drawings look fine in every other DWG compatible app (AutoCad 2010, CorelCad or TurboCad) we have, except for ViaCad.

My mistake, i didn't get your point at the beginning, and yes, that topic i mention is referred to a file exported from shark and opened in autocad. Regarding your issue, i think is more related to the file, does this happens to you on different files?, cause import dwgs files many times, and some times flawlessly and some times with several errors, and sometimes i give up cause could not be imported.

Hi Vinced,
Can you confirm it's a unit conversions inches to mm?
Scale factor 25.4, or 1/25.4
Frequent issue...

JL I am not totally sure what you want me to check. The Original drawing was non-metric.

Can you send me an example file? I will check into. Also let me know what build of ViaCAD you have.
If possible, zip and send to me at
