Hi all,

I have started to experiment with ASD 2010, and I have the Australian Steel sections loaded. I have my units set to decimal (i think in all the places I need to have it set). When I place a beam that is 454 deep, it is being drawn at 17.874mm (which coincidentally is factored down 25.4 times)

How do I get the members to be modelled at the correct scale?

Cheers

I don't know anything about your specific program, but besides being in decimal units, you need to be in metric units.

Is there any AECDWGSETUP command or toolbar?
In ADT2006 (and possibly other verticals) this gives more options on units and drawing set up.
