The problem with importing CGM files into Pro/E is that the entire drawing
is inexplicably resized to A-size, regardless of the actual drawing size
that the CGM file was produced from. Here is a work-around which will
allow you to import your CGM file at the correct size.
- Import the CGM file into an empty drawing sheet - it defaults to
A-size.
- Note that the A-size drawing frame (if it is visible) may be a different
aspect ratio to the frame of the drawing entities you have imported.
You do not want this frame, so make sure to blank the format to ensure that
the A-size frame is not visible.
- Export to IGES - you then get an IGES file which is smaller than
A-size.
- Create a new drawing empty drawing sheet at the correct size (e.g.
A0).
- Import the IGES file - answer yes when it asks you whether you want
to resize the imported elements to fit the drawing size (e.g. A0).
