maybe it is no more than a difference between the units the block was originally created in and the units you are using in your drawing (i.e. - metric versus imperial). Or it could be the block(s) you downloaded were not drawn full size but to some sort of scale. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

my advice to you is that you use the scale comand to scale your block up or down depending on the units of your drawing and the units of the block. Type scale on the command line and then select the entire block, it will ask you to specify the scale factor, remember that a scale factor higher than 1 will increase the size of your block and ascale factor lower than 1 will decrease the size of your document. Just play around the scale factors until your find the desired measurements of your block

Hello Flx_18, if you want to be sure of the scale of blockw and files that you insert then you will have to open each of them and check/set the "insertion scale" that is set in DDUNITS ( see the print screen in french here ).
On the other hand it should not be to much difficult to make a difference between mmilimetres, meters, inches, feet.
1 mile = 8 furlong ( fur )
1 furlong = 220 yard ( yd )
1 yard = 3 foot ( ft )
1 feet = 12 inch ( in )
1 inch = 1000 mil ( mil )

Generally, blocks should be INSERTed... not copy/pasted. You get more options with INSERT. One of the main ones is the ability to scale the block to your liking. Once you have one in your drawing at the scale you like THEN you can use copy/paste. But generally you should use INSERT. Dave. ------------- Dave Hein, P.E.
