Hi again,

I have imported a DXF file to ETABS in order to start creating a model. However when I import the DXF it looks that it place the file way too far from the original XYZ axes therefore it is very difficult to zoom in and find where the DXF actually is.
Please see attached photo.

I have checked the scale and it is ok.

Is the DXF file located at the origin in AutoCAD? Or does the insertion point in ETABs match the coordinates in AutoCAD?
