Import Scale Issue

Hi,

I've had pretty good luck being able to download models from various vendors for use in my designs.

But the attached one (from a new vendor) is importing much smaller than it should.

I was able to select the whole thing and scale it (by trial and error) to get something useable.

My question is why is this file coming in so small?

It should have OD=9mm ID=3mm Width=5mm.

Thanks.

Frederick

Hi Frederick,

re:

It seems to be coming in with those sizes, but it has its units set to inches:



0.354 inches = 8.9916 mm

If you want to view it in mm then go to Options > General > Unit system and change it from the current "Unit system: Inches" to "Unit system: Millimeters".

Hi,

Thanks for the reply

OK got it sorted.

Much easier to scale that way.
