I am a long time user since  V 9, but can't seem to log in here.

 

Anyway my problem is that I have never before needed to do a site plan. I imported a surveyors DXF but it off scale by a factor of 12. Is there a way for me to change that?

Yes, use EDIT > ADJUST SIZE ... DISTANCE

 

Input a known distance and then click the start and end of that distance on the imported plan.

I am missing something.

 I try this and it creates  a box around but no place to enter a dimension.

Should I do this while it is still a dxf?

I have saved it as a site plan in SP

BTW, I am Pifin. Was able to get logged in after re-registering my SP.

To be clear, IO want to change the entire drawing.

Going now to review help page on how to use adjust size tool

OK, Got it done now.

You pointed me to the right tool but inaccurate method.

 

I first had to increase workspace limits  and center the imported in the workspace.

Then using edit - adjust size - drew box around the entire drawing, not just an item, and entered adjust by a factor of 12.

 

Thanks
