problem with Autocad file

Hi Anthony,
I don't know where that scale problem comes from. In Autocad 2002, it is
fine, but when opend in VoloView, it looks very small, like you noticed.

Whatever, it does not solves my import problem.

I have made screen captures from Volo, paste it in photoshop to rebuild an
hi-res picture of the plan. Using that picture as a texture map in a plan
object allow me to exploit it in tS... even if it is not an elegant
solution.

Thanks,

Emmanuel
