Hi Anna, Under the insert tab, set location tool, the drawing units on the set location tool and the scale on the CAD drawing need to match i.e., if the drawing is scaled something like 1/8"=1'like my drawing is, then the GIS Coordinate System must be in inches. If the CAD drawing were scaled 1'=1' then the GIS coordinates drawing units need to be feet. Does this help?

Thank you for your reply Brett. I figured out the problem and you were close. I was using a CAD file I obtained from someone esle. I was trained to set the scale on the CAD drawing in paper space, not model space and keep model space 1:1. I used feet not inches when setting the GIS coordinates since my CAD file was open in model space. I learned my lesson, different house, different rules, check the scale in model space on the CAD file.

I am using ArcGIS for AutoCAD 370 and I set the projection on a CAD drawing but the drawing and base map are not at the same scale. My Drawing is Godzilla like oversized compared to the basemap. The CAD file is in the correct location though. Is there a way to get the online ESRI basemap and CAD .dwg to the same scale?
