Hi,
I am facing one problem currently with scaling, while exporting to dwg format.
First I made a model in Nx and opened drawing and got one view with 2:1 scale and exported to dwg format.
Opened dwg file in AutoCAD and when I measured the dimension, it is double.
Please anyone let me know the solution for this.

Thanks & Regards,
Ravi
 
Is the view you are measuring in Paper space or Model Space?
 
Yes you need to use the "scale" command in autocad. Basically if you nx is 1:2 you have to type the numerical equivalent in autocad such as .5 or 2. All this is done in autocad type box.

type:
Scale then enter
All then enter
Type your scale number eg ".5"
Enter again
Type 0,0 (configures sheer)
Enter again

Verify the dimention. Hopefully ive said this in the right order.
