It could be something simple like the units for the two drawings are different meaning one is metric while the other is imperial or vice-versa.

You could always bring the old drawing into the new one as a block then use the SCALE command with the REFERENCE option to rescale it.  Fairly simple procedure.

Hi guys,

I am a complete beginner to CAD so if you could take it slow with me it would be much appreciated. 

What I want to do seems fairly simple but I am having a fair bit of trouble with it. I just want to copy a drawing from one CAD file onto a drawing from another CAD file and have the scale the same.

I have done this is the past with no scale issues but for some reason with this new set of drawings I am working with whenever I do it one is significantly bigger than the other (a batching plant is approx 10x the size of an entire floor plan)

I have trawled through the internet and found lots of info on scaling but nothing has worked. surely this is a common thing and there is a fairly simple way to achieve it? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
