Importing .dxf file as its original size and format

[Jaani]

Hi.

Let me describe the situation as step by step.
1. I create a .CATDrawing file and customize its size to A5 format(210 mm * 148mm), for example.
2. I create a Text inside it and save it as .dxf format
3. I import it but the text is not opened in the original paper size, the page foramt is scaled to A0 automatically and the text is scaled accordingly.

I don't want to use the page set up command after importing the .dxf file as it makes a serious problem with the text for me. Please Let me know how do you open .dxf exactly as it is?

Set the page size up before importing the dxf.
If you are importing the dxf, you are importing into an already opened file.
If you are opening the dxf directly , you are asked for page size as it creates a new file.

Also, take a look at Tools>options>Compatibility>DXF.
Unit of file > mine will scale if set to automatic, I leave mine set to millimeter (the unit I work with).

Don't know why but it never asks me for page size, when I open a .dxf file directly (File>>Open).
Setting the page size up before importing doesn't always work.

I'm confused...
