1:1 scale

[Cadwork22]

I imported a dxf file and need it to be at a 1:1 scale, see attached, the dimensions don't match.  Can it be modified to scale this?

 

Thanks as always

Yes of course,   check one of the longer measurements that are dimensioned and calculate the ratio then select everything and use transform and replicate to make the adjustment.  Or you may have not used the correct import settings. This can also be checked by measuring and calculating the existing ratio.

and also....more often than not I find errors in plans that are auto cad based files that are generated by the drafter themselves. They may have made a mistake and actually have a 25' section there
