When you view any item in 2D within the tool palette ofAutoCAD MEP, by default it looks very small. When you view the same item in 3D,you can view it properly.]]> Wed, 21 May 2014 14:54:48 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=10319&PID=27171&title=tool-palettes-in-cad-mep#27171 <![CDATA[tool palettes in CAD MEP : Hello Parker14, try verify your...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=10319&PID=27169&title=tool-palettes-in-cad-mep#27169 Author: philippe JOSEPH

Hello Parker14, try verify your units settings.
DDUNITS : inches, feet, millimeters, meters, etc...
If you set correctly your units and if the files that you want to insert in your are with correct settings, you shouldn't have any problems with different units as AutoCAD will insert them with the good scale.

What kind of drawing is this exactly?  It can't be an electrical schematic if you are having scaling issues.

I'm having a problem with tool palettes I'm hoping someone can help me with.  Running AutoCAD 2012 MEP and attempting to insert electrical items from the tool palette, but everything is inserting at a scale far smaller than my drawing.  Also each item I insert is overlaid with a large 'caution' triangle which hides the item itself.  Until now I've simply pasted from my own library of cad files, this is first attempt inserting from tools which I thought would be time saving.  Any suggestions?]]> Wed, 21 May 2014 01:03:46 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=10319&PID=27165&title=tool-palettes-in-cad-mep#27165
