When settings a geo-location for your project, and a CRS is selected that is defined with a unit of measurement in meters, the unit of measurement of the DWG or DXF has to be set to meters as well.
How to set the unit of measurement for a DWG or DXF:
- Open the DXF or DWG file in AutoCAD.
- In order to setup the units of measurement, click on the command bar in the bottom in AutoCAD and type: -DWGUNITS. This starts a mini wizard.
- A list of units are shown. Type 6, which select the unit meter, and press "Enter" on your keyboard.
- Next type Enter again, to select the default decimal numbers. Alternatively type 2.
- Next, type Enter again a few times, since the default selected option is generally what you want.
- The wizard is completed and the unit system of your project is set to meters.
Typing -DWGUNITS to start a mini wizard in AutoCAD to set the project unit of measurement to meters.
