DWG / SolidWorks Scale

Hello

I have a 2D DWG file that doesn't have the right scale when I import it into SolidWorks,

Is there a reason or parameter to check to avoid this?

Thank you

Hello

First of all, when importing the DXF/DWG there is an option that allows you to define the unit of measurement (m, mm, cm, inch...).

What you also need to know is that DXF/DWG does not support units! If it was drawn in inches and you import it in mm, you will have a scale factor of 25.4 (1 inch = 25.4 mm).

There is no silver bullet, just pay attention to the first point and if necessary scale the imported DXF/DWG as a sketch.

Kind regards.
