Blocks, Images or Xrefs not inserting correctly?
Have you inserted Blocks, Images or Xrefs only to find they scale automatically to a different scale from what you specified?
AutoCAD makes use of the following system variables when inserting any of the three above mentioned Objects..
INSUNITS - Specifies a drawing-units value for automatic scaling of blocks, images, or xrefs inserted or attached to a drawing.
INSUNITSDEFSOURCE - Sets source content units value when INSUNITS is set to 0. Valid range is 0 to 20.
INSUNITSDEFTARGET - Sets target drawing units value when INSUNITS is set to 0. Valid range is 0 to 20.
These system variables allow AutoCAD to automatically scale Blocks, Images or Xrefs, thus reducing your need to scale them to your current working scale.
The following are some links that shed some more light on the subject.

When viewing a block within an AutoCAD drawing that contains attributes, the attributes do not display. Within the Block Editor they are there but not back in normal model space.

Autocad Insert Scale Wrong
Autocad Blocks Not Inserting At Correct Scale
- Re: Blocks not inserting in correct place I had this problem too, and I've tried everything but nothing has worked so far. When I first created the block the objects were not at 0,0, but in the block editor I moved the objects to 0,0.
- Dragging blocks from a tool palette doesn’t give you the chance to specify a different insertion scale, nor can you use all the precision tools in AutoCAD to specify the insertion point precisely. So you may need to move the block into place after inserting it.
- Jan 23, 2017 Solved: Hi, I'm pretty new to Autocad. A few weeks only with Autocad LT 2017 and all pretty good so far, just takes a bot of getting used to. Blocks not inserting in correct place. I used the basepoint parameter and set it to 0,0, and my ucs icon shows up at 0,0, but when I insert the block into another file the objects are really far.
