I forgot to mention in my first post that I tested it by converting the lengths to metres in the source file and then the scales were OK.

I drawing a map based on a survey originally done with Compass. I have used the data from the .dat file and put survey and centreline around it. The lengths are all in feet so I added units tape feet.
I exported the plan xvi and drew the plan view around it. So far so good, everything looked fine but, when I came to draw the elevation, the xvi file was drawn correctly in the x axis but in the y axis the scale was wrong. It seems it is not converting the feet to metres.
