    Cad problem

    Hi,

    I'm new to cad. I'm having a problem when I transfer a dxf drawing to cad. The dimensions are way off and I can't change them in the cad program. I'm using Cam expert cad cam software. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Kevin

    You don't want to change the dimensions, you probably want to scale the drawing. It most likely got converted from inches to mm, or mm to inches. Scaling by 25.4 or 1/25.4 might be what you need to do.
