Block Unit - Scale Factor Sets Itself

[michael.darwell]

I've recently upgraded to Lt 2006 from 2000. When I come to insert xrefs into standard drawing sheets created in 2000 but opended through 2006 the block unit scale shows a factor of 0.0394. When I xref into a drawing created in 2006 there is no problem and the scale factor stays as 1.

I've checked all the source and target units on both new and old drawings and they're all set the same (mm).

Help.......!!

I'm going to move this from the autocad forum to the Lt forum. thanks!

Look at this thread.

0.0394 is approximately the reciprocal of 25.4 so the problem must be connected with a change between imperial and metric setups.


Melanie. I do not think this is specifically an LT question.

Hi John

You may well be right, but seeing as "michael.darwell" is using AutoCAD LT this is the most appropriate forum for this thread.
