hey how did you come up with that control file to upload? When I import my dxf drawing from my removable drive, the scale factor is incorrect. A window opening that is supposed to be 60 inches is 60 feet.

The control files are usually supplied by the builder or site surveyor. They are just the X,Y,Z co-ordinates of the control points on site, saved as a CSV file.
As for the scaling issue. You’ll need to confirm what units the draftsman has used - and import using the relevant units. In your case, its sounds like the drawing is in inches, but you have imported using feet. (see timestamp @1:58 )

@@CRKennedyGeospatial I have figured it out and yes thats exactly what it was, the drawing in CAD used inches and in the data collector I imported it as feet.
