Solidworks part dimensions saved as a .dxf file do not match annotated dimensions in AutoCAD
Hello, If I make a draft of a sheet metal part in Solidworks2016. Using a custom size sheet no matter the size. Draft the part using 1:1 scale. Save the file as a dxf. Open it in autocad.
It will report the wrong dimension, when dimensioning it in AutoCAD using annotation. However when using the measure tool utility, it will report the correct dimension Along side the incorrect annotated dimension.
Is AutoCAD referencing an imaginary scaling factor? it should be 1:1 but will measure as 1:2 when using annotation

When saving to dxf, before saving, click to options button, and see if the Base Scale is set to 1:1
