AutoCAD 2D DWG Import to SolidWorks Scaling/Unit Issue

AutoCAD 2D DWG Import to SolidWorks Scaling/Unit Issue

(OP)
Hello, I am having scaling/unit difficulties of importing 2D drawings into SolidWorks.  CAD drawings are in inches and have I set SolidWorks' units to IPS.  Drawings appear to import in with a different measurement of unit but does appear to be consistent however?  I was also looking for a import scale factor by chance but cannot find one in SolidWorks?  Any help is appreciated!

Check your units while you're importing the drawings.
