problem quota scales on imported designs

[slurpix]

Hi.

Perhaps it is a trivial question x many of you, unfortunately I do not use autocad but mainly pro/e therefore find myself in difficulty.

I have been sent drawings in dwg; I open them with autocad 2005, inside are drawings with quota views etc...

now if I take and quote a distance already quoted I find myself with a value of quota different from the existing one; example:

I open the drawing and there is a linear quota from a to b of value 100 mm, if I requote it comes out a value of 80 mm instead of 100.

How come? that I have to change why the scale is correct? ?

Thank you.

evidently the design is scaled, import the design as block into a new design (choice) then make scale, if you read to the command bar there is reference therefore type "r" followed by enter, selections example the thickness of a particular (e.g. 8 measured but must be 10) once you click the 2 points of thickness you tell him that that distance is 10, all the design will be scaled.

Bye.

attention that geometry could be correct, but modified the quota style, controls the value of "linear quota scale" must be 1, if the value is correct then it means that it is the geometry that has been scaled, at that point Basque that steps 10:8.

Thanks, I tried and it only works that now importing it as a block I can no longer change it right? ?

it is not necessary to convert it into block you can easily scale the geometry without making the block, cmq with the _explode command explodes the block and the geometry will be changed again.

but if you go to scale the design without it being a block you will also scale the odds by changing the value of the quota, better the block, scale it and then explode it.

cmq are wrong and it is dangerous to work like this, if the value is not in scale 1:1 as the quota you quota a non-real measure, if you make an up-to-date risk of messing everything.... so better to scale the design and arrange the style of quota....

at least the parts with a correct format in scale with geometry, why at that point the odds inserted after mix with the original ones and at that point what is right and what is wrong?

At least I work so then tastes. but in that case better indicate to drawing that the quotas are scaled.

it is not made of tastes, but of habits, surely your method is better. I'll try.

autocad is a very flexible tool, versatile but at the same time difficult to manage if you do not know well the principles with which you work.

I say tastes because it is not wrong to do as you say, in the end the printed design has the same characteristics as I say.... These finesses do not notice. However, it is necessary to analyze the problem from the moment the file has to be managed also by other people who perhaps do not know well autocad.. at that point having delel odds that are not in scale could be deleterious, many measure with quotas and not with the _dist command then take for good the value that the quota displays them.

if you work alone and no one else has to manage the files, you can also draw in inches and then quote in millimeters. the final result does not change.

I work for a third party, therefore amount of files (dxf or dwg) coming from autocad, but from other "x" falls with all the difficulties that can derive from it, and it seemed a good way that I followed, since I keep as lock the customer design and then I collect the pieces from an exploded copy, and the new quotas I put, not rub those of the customer. Maybe that's why I didn't find myself in trouble with the method I use and described.

I finally opened the normal file and modified the scale of the quotas as suggested so that they were equal to the existing ones.

I would say great, thank you
