      Hi guys,

      I´m trying to import an CAD file but this drawing cames
      without scale.
      I´m use the metrical system, drawing in meters and in the Sketchup,
      i´m use this method too.

      What is wrong whem i´m import the file ??

      Thanks.

        You can set the import scale units in the Import options dialog that opens from the Options button in the Import File dialog box (down on the right, below the thumbnail pane) The default is Feet, and it is independent of the Units settings in the Model Info panel.

          Thanks Anssi, i´ve tested this method now and works great.

          One more question. I´ve to do this steps, always when i´m import,
          or i can set to make an default import method ??

          Thanks again

            SU will remember the last import settings you used.
