Drawing scale factor

Hi,

I have created an extrude in Pro-E 4.0 with sketch plane as Front plane and dimensions as 100 MM *125 MM *150 MM.

When I create drawing from this part, I have got scale factor as 0.010 on lower left corner.

This is what is confusing me as after saving drawing file into DXF format and measuring front view , actual value of 100 MM *125 MM is comes out as 25.91 MM * 32.39 MM which indicates scale factor as 3.85.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Ketan Lalcheta

I've had trouble with having metric properly convert. You start by making sure the part units really is millimeters. This normally solves all the issues.

Feel free to attach some test files using the advanced editor in the forum. We can probably see where the problem is.

Hi Ketan,

Sometimes when we use prototypes the drawing units can be diferent then prt units. My suggestion is to look for a config.dtl file and try to put this option "drawing_units MM"

config.dtl is the option that controls drawing options
