We have measured on screen and the drawing is accurate. We have also printed the drawing, measured from paper and it is accurate. However the scale of the original drawing is 1:100 at A1. We need to find out why ArcGIS has multiplied the original scale by 1000.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Mark</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:28:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/cad-scale-in-arcmap/m-p/478404#M27243 MarkYoung 2013-08-13T13:28:00Z Re: CAD Scale In ArcMap https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/cad-scale-in-arcmap/m-p/478405#M27244 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>are u sure you have zoom to the reference scale in arcgis?&nbsp; the reference scale is 1:100.(friend from beijing)</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 18 Aug 2013 16:44:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/cad-scale-in-arcmap/m-p/478405#M27244 hailongzhang 2013-08-18T16:44:28Z Re: CAD Scale In ArcMap https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/cad-scale-in-arcmap/m-p/478406#M27245 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I believe the acad drawing has it's units set to millimetres and arcgis is using metres.

As the CAD drawing and ArcMap had a difference factor of 1000 we entered 0.001 in the scale box.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 02 Sep 2013 06:53:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/cad-scale-in-arcmap/m-p/478407#M27246 MarkYoung 2013-09-02T06:53:49Z
