In PowerGeopak they were 1000. What&amp;#39;s the best way to reference an older drawing in ORD so that the cells and text aren&amp;#39;t 10 times bigger than they should be?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Reference a file with different units</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/766056?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 May 2023 13:10:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3ea347cf-e28d-4992-914a-4a20e336c085</guid><dc:creator>Lucas Hicks</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I can turn off the offending layers.&amp;nbsp; I was just using the file for background for staking.&amp;nbsp; I ended up converting it to Civil 3D as it is so much easier to create staking points.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m going to try to recreate the points in ORD to see how difficult the process is.&lt;/p&gt;

You will need to either recreate the cells or modify them by changing their resolution and then rescaling them. Ohio DOT created a tool for this that can be downloaded. It may take a few tries to get the specific setup that work for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Reference a file with different units</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/766035?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 May 2023 12:02:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2caec0ad-da7c-472b-a992-a92a2c803f6c</guid><dc:creator>Lucas Hicks</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I think I found both of these in the reference dialog.&amp;nbsp; Nothing seemed to help.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ll attached both files.&amp;nbsp; Alignment is 2021 R2.
