    A client sent me a tradeshow booth design in DXF. But whenever I import it into Capture the scale appears way to big. I have verified in other programs that the measurements are correct and truss is 12" standard, but if I add a moving head from capture library it appears the size of a pixel and zooming into the mover looks like I could get 50+ of them in the 12" piece of truss.

    Not sure if I am doing something wrong on the import side or if I need to request them to do something different on their end.

    Please send me your advice.

    After dragging the drawing into Capture, while its still highlighted, press enter to bring up the properties. Scroll to the bottom under "static object" is "drawing unit". This is the scale. It's probably in meters(3'3.4"); change to most likely 1" or 1'. That's it!
