Issue with compiling multiple .drw files onto one sheet

Question

Hello everyone,CREO Parametric 11.0.2.0 here. I am attempting to superimpose my companies automation system onto a provided floorplan. I have converted the floorplan I got into a .drw. My most recent (fruitless) attempt involved creating a drawing with the model and perspective that I would like, and then copying and pasting that into the floorplan .drw. This fails every time because it identifies a mismatch in the units. I have attempted to change the units of the model before pasting into the floorplan to no avail, so I am not exactly sure what it is that I am missing. I am also not able to identify the units that the provided floorplan are in using the creo software, and when measured, it returns some nonsense number that indicates to me that it was scaled down before I got it... Ultimately there are several independent sections of our system that I would like to make this compilation out of, so whatever the solution is, it would be nice if it was easily repeatable.Thank you for your help!

If you right click on the drawing and choose "sheet setup" from the right context menu, you can then change units to be either inches or mm in the sheet setup dialog box.

From there, it sounds like you have a bunch of 2D entities that make up your floor plan. If you select all of the entities, there is then a "scale" button under the Sketch tab in the "Edit" group. If you create a dimension on your floor plan for something you know the value of then you can figure out the scaling factor to change it to the size you want.
