I don't have these issues when I open the same drawings up in AutoCad 2010, CorelCad or TurboCad. I am using Mac v8 2D/3D PS We already have 7 copies of ViaCad 2D/3D in our engineering and Production departments. but would also like to get 5 more copies for Customer Service, but this issue is a show stopper, any a dice would be helpful Vince

Drawings look fine in every other DWG compatible app (AutoCad 2010, CorelCad or TurboCad) we have, except for ViaCad.

Regarding your issue, i think is more related to the file, does this happens to you on different files?, cause import dwgs files many times, and some times flawlessly and some times with several errors, and sometimes i give up cause could not be imported.

Hi Vinced, Can you confirm it's a unit conversions inches to mm? Scale factor 25.4, or 1/25.4 Frequent issue... JL
