Solid Edge to AutoCAD Scaling
Solid Edge to AutoCAD Scaling
(OP)
Hello,
This is my first time as a user on Eng-Tips. I'm a new mechanical engineer and have a question regarding Solid Edge draft file to AutoCAD .dwg scaling.
When creating a draft file in SE, I have a view of a rectangle with a scale factor of 1:10. When I save the file as a .dwg and open it up in AutoCAD, annotating dimensions will give 1/10th of what they should be due to the scaling factor from the SE draft file. I understand you can manually edit the dimension style and set the dimensions to be annotated with a scale factor. However, I'd like to know if there was a more robust way to do this. That is to say, is there a way for AutoCAD to account for this scale factor so that, without manually editing dimension styles, the annotated dimensions will show up as their true correct dimensions?
Thank you

However, having imported & exported may a dxf to/from SE and either finding things off by a factor of 25.4, or getting complaints that things are off by 25.4 this was an easy one for me to throw my 2C in for.
