I have an intermittent problem that crops up sometimes when I insert a drawing, or reduce a data collection file. (I still use Eagle Point for datacoll reduction, and I've used it for years without this problem.) I can't figure out why it happens when it does, and neither can the CAD "guru" in this office.
My "new drawing" template has feet for units to scale inserted content, and feet for insertion scale. Should I just set things to unitless? :-S
Thanks in advance.
The problem could be the Units and Zone setting under , in older cad files and sometimes files from others, the drawing will be set to international feet. This will cause a shift when inserting from one with this stetting to one setup properly for WA in US survey feet.
It could also be the survey database settings, but from your post it seems like you're talking about inserting drawings and not point data.

unitless
if you are in a US survey foot state, check every drawing anyone ever gives you to make sure this is unitless.
