Converting Carlson Points to Softdesk Points

Postby surveysc » Thu Aug 14, 2008 7:20 pm

I am trying to convert points in a drawing to Softdesk for use by others. I would like to be able to convert the points to Softdesk and save the drawing as release 14. When trying to convert, here are the steps I use:
1. Points
2. Convert Point Format
3. Convert Carlson to Softdesk
When I do this, the points and all attributes shrink in size. How do I get the point attributes size back to their original size?

Before you convert the points, type options on the command line, go to the USER PREFERENCES tab, for the insertion scale set the source to feet and the target to inches. Next run the conversion and it should work correctly. Afterwards don't forget to change the settings back.
