Hi,

I am trying to copy a selection of dwg's from one folder to another. I am using the filecopy writer to achieve this. I am having a problem however, with the original dwg's the units are set to metric, but when I copy them to the new destination using filecopy they switch to imperial. I can't see any settings to change this, would anyone know how to keep these as metric?

Thanks

B

edit. I have uploaded the workspace also. Thanks for the help..

Do you have any additional files with different endings in the same folder (ie *.prj etc)? Try to copy those also.

Yes I have prj, but I was copying these as well already. Seems strange as I am not actually reading the dwg into the dataset.
