: --I would note glitch in my procedure above; when I bring the : dxf file up in ACAD14, it's scale is way off (the Pro/E .asm file is : scaled in millimeters). I find that I have to use the "scale" command : in ACAD and bring the thing up in size to jibe with, say, inches : readout, or whatever I want. This involves knowing some specific : feature's size, measuring the same feature in ACAD, and applying the : ratio to the scale that results from that. Kind of clunky, to be : sure, but it does work. Am I missing something simple in my procedure : above that would result in the dxf coming in right-on in scale? : thanks--
All you probably have to do is make the units agree between the Pro/e models/assembly and the ACAD model space. To check what units the Pro/e stuff is in, go to 'Info>Model'. At the top, under the name, it shows units. Another way you can see and change the system of units is with 'Edit>Setup>Units'. To change the units, pick a new system and click 'Set'. Pick 'Covert Existing Numbers (Same size)', your model will now measure the same as it did before, but in the new system of units, USC or ISO. I'm sure you can do this from the ACAD end, as well. Just for the hell of it, you ought to try doing it a few times in Pro/e. You may have to do it, not only for the assembly, but for each of the models, as well. Good practice. Or get out the conversion tables: 25.4 mm per inch or .03937 inch per mm.
