Hello John and Phil, if you declare correct units in each file that you want to INSERT and not copy/paste inside each other the inches, feet, mm, m, etc... shouldn't be a problem as AutoCAD will automatically scale them at the right value and when you will 'read' the chacarterictics with a LIST it will be written : scale 1/1 but + units mm,inches,m,feet,etc...

When you are creating a block and are asked for the insertion point of the block you should pick a point on the geometry itself and not use the default 0,0.
I have an isometric piping symbols drawing I could share with you but it is not metric. You would have to scale it.

It is a small window from a large combined services drawing, I have managed to find enough video's now to learn how to make blocks and insert into the drawings. What I was struggling with this, I made a scale block of a crane and wanted to insert it into a full sized site plot plan but when ever I tried I could not see the block either it didn't work or it was in a strange position on the drawing. I think I figured out where I was going wrong though, when I made the block I didn't start it close to the x/y axis, could this have been the problem?
I am still hoping to find some ready made blocks for single line, if that's the correct term, Isometric pipe drawings just to save drawing them all myself.

Yes, I am familiar with creating single line isometric piping drawings. I don't see the drawing you are referring to. As regards the plot plan, what is your point exactly? Actually it looks more like a small portion of a plot plan.
