Import scaled dxf file

Import scaled dxf file

Import scaled dxf file

(OP)
Hi,
I've a dxf file that after imported into drawing view, the dimension are scaled.
For example, the orginal drafting has the view scaled 1:1.5 with dimension like 15.
After importing, dimensions like 15 mm become 10 mm.
Idea to resolve ?
Attached dxf file.

Thank you...

RE: Import scaled dxf file

After importing rescale in NX or Prior to importing rescale (1:1) in autocad or other CAD tool.

If you are looking for a rescaling during import, NX can't do that out of the box...( not without custom programming being written )
