importing DXF files into 3dsmax8 scale problem

[uglycat]

I took a couple of months break from max work, and i just started up again, and for some reason, i have a major problem importing dxf mesh files into max now.

the scale is completly wrong. they import so small, they are compressed down to a single vertex. if i try to rescale it in the import dialogue, they are of massive proportions (objects usually 100 units in size are not 70 or 80k)

scale is extremly important in what i'm doing, and i have absolutely no idea what happened to make this problem...

i've checked with my scale settings in max, and everything is normal as it should be... anyone else ever experience this or know about it?

I am not a big auto cadd user but can you export from whatever program your working in to a .3ds file format? That would seem like a logical approach to fixing your scaling issue and try checking your increments of measure. Other than that I am a total newbie, but I thought this might be a logical approach.

Hope you get it worked out.
