    So I worked out how to get Vectorworks data into Capture, but somethings strange is happening with my drawing units. So my VW 2017 drawing is in mm, but my Position data in Capture is in metre. Could anyone shed some light on this or guide me in the right direction.

    Thank you..

    Hi,

    It may be that you simply need to change the "drawing unit" property on import. This can be done directly in the import window as well as afterwards through the properties of the selected objects.

    Hi Lars,

    Thank you for your reply. When I use Import Data and import my fixtures from VW I can't see a menu option Drawing units. I know it is there when I import objects, but not for Data, so all my fixtures end up at 12000m high not 12000mm high.

    Thank you for your help
