When importing geometry from AutoCAD into an Inventor sketch, the object property information such as color,
line style, line weight and line scale imports as it was created in AutoCAD. Sometimes this creates a visual clutter
or confusion because it does not look like Inventor’s default sketch behavior.
To give the AutoCAD geometry an Inventor look and feel, use the Sketch Properties tool to reset the values to
Inventor’s Defaults.
After importing the geometry, select all of the geometry, right mouse click and select properties.
Select the Drop Down buttons, set all values to default and un-check the Line Scale box.
