Could you explain what do u mean by: "all dimensions are wrong"
--how did you checked that DXF dimensions are wrong (by opening in pro-E or any other software)
Explain in detail to help others help u

by that i mean that in pro engineer the dimensions were 300×100 mm when it was .drw, than I convertet it to .dxf for AutoCAD. But in AutoCAD (black dimensions) are not the same as in Pro/E.

EDIT: ok it is showing me it the INCH not in mm in AutoCAD. Haw can i change that?

DXF files are unitless

I am using AutoCAD 2007

In Pro/E, try using view scale that exists also in AutoCAD. Usually, AutoCAD cannot read Pro/E scales, e.g. 1:15, correctly.

@CSebaC
in ur pro E drw mode right open drawing option and
change drawing_units from inch to mm

If your drawing units are already set to mm (drawing_unit
mm), then do the following...
Open a new sheet in Proe
Set the sheet scale to 1:1
Input the views
Export the sheet to Dxf in AutoCAD Modelspace.
-------------
Do not Insert the Dxf file instead OPEN it.
Your drawing should read correctly.

Try setting the config.pro option dxf_out_scale_views to yes. When this option is yes the main views are scaled to 1:1.


Also dxf_out_drawing_scaleto yes can be useful.

Hi


Proe convert the views asit is to autocad. Ie if the view is in metric and 1:1 in size Proe converts it as the same. So first make sure Ur units and scale is as you required.


BEfore opening the DXF make sure Ur unit is set correct. U can check this by entering the command UNITS in autocad.


after opening the dxf to confirm your drawing size just type DIST(distance) and measure the distance (this will give you the real value. )
