I'm have a bit of trouble scaling an imported dwg file. When I measure the distance (reference to reference) I'm receiving 5'-0" instead of 23'-11". I have used the direct method....import from the drop down menu. As opening from my downloads. Same result. Or how do I scale to the desired scale after opening.
You will have to complete the Enlarge command on the drawing. Pick a point to enlarge from Enlargement, Cal Dist, By Points Pick the line end points of what you know (5'-0" item) pick the line end point, then enter the correct length (23-11) Select by Area, and pick the complete drawing.
