To determine the scaling of an imported DWG or DXF file in your Revit project, select a linked instance and access its Properties. Go to the type properties of the linked file and there are two properties: Import Units and Scale Factor. If you change the import units to a different value, the Scale Factor automatically updates. You can also specify a different Scale Factor. If you open Revit files saved prior to 6.0, no values display for these parameters. You must either reload the link or reimport the files into the current version to see any values.

If the imported file has a custom unit, choose Custom from the Import Units drop-down menu. This enables the Scale Factor text box.
Enter a scale value in the text box. For example, the file has a unit called widget where one widget equals 10 meters. When importing the file, you would choose Custom and then specify a value of 10 for the scale. Each unit from the source file is now equal to 10 meters in the Revit file.
