I have a drawing that is needed to be converted to DWG, however, when I convert it to DWG, the scale is changed so that a dimension on the solidworks drawing shows 12 inches but when the DWG is opened it shows that same dimension measuring at 20 inches. Any one know why that is happening?
First make sure your sheet scale is the same as your drawing view scale. Click on one of the drawing views to see what the scale is set to. Right click on the sheet (not on a drawing view) and select properties and make sure the scale is the same as the drawing view.
When you go to save it as a dwg click the options box on the bottom left before hitting save.
Check the enable box under Scale Output 1:1.
Try saving the dwg file again to see if it helps.
