Scaling DWG walls to Chief Architect walls

I have been struggling with importing a DWG file. I called customer support and he recommended tracing the walls and then deleting the DWG walls. I started to do that, but the DWG file walls, compared to the Chief Architect walls I'm drawing in aren't to scale. How do I get them to match up? In the picture I attached, the blue arrow is the Chief Wall and the red arrow is the DWG file I imported.
I'm new to all of this and just trying to find the most efficient way to draw up these giant homes. Thanks for any and all help!

and it looks like you DWG is rotated. If so, select all the DWG line and rotate using the transform replicate button. so that the majority of walls are 0 or 90 degrees

 

Then dimension between two different (as long as possible) walls, which have a known dimension. If the CA dimension matches the DWG dimension all is good, if not use the Transform and replicate to scale until they do
