When setting a geo-location for your project, if a CRS is selected that uses meters as the unit of measurement, the unit of measurement of the DWG or DXF must also be set to meters.

How to set the unit of measurement for a DWG or DXF:
  1. Open the DXF or DWG file in AutoCAD.
  2. 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.
  3. A list of units are shown. Type 6, which select the unit meter, and press "Enter" on your keyboard.
  4. Next type Enter again, to select the default decimal numbers. Alternatively type 2.
  5. Press Enter repeatedly to accept the remaining default options.
  6. The wizard is completed and the unit system of your project is set to meters.
