    Default block scale issue

    not sure how it happened but some of my cad dwgs when i insert a standard block that ive always inserted in the past.. i have to scale it up 12 times for it to get to its standard size. i assume there is a setting in that specific cad dwgs that fixes that. please let me know what that setting/s may be

    thank you!

    Check your insert block variables:
    INSUNITS
    INSUNITSDEFTARGET
    INSUNITSDEFSOURCE

    Make them all zero and you may be all set.
    (look into the 'help menu on these topics, it explains what they control)

    Check the source block drawing and the drawing you're inserting into.
