Hi,

I converted PDF into Dxf file.

looks like the converter did not a good job ...

How to match the dimensions.

To match the dimension you have to scale the whole drawing.
To determine the correct scale factor select the existing Dimension line which says 328.

Check in the Property Editor the actual length of that line what should be somewhat around 257.6412. What ever the length is - select the whole number and copy it into the clipboard.

Selected then the whole drawing (Ctrl + A),
launch the Scale tool,
chose a reference point,
give the up-poping dialog windows this info to scale it in x and y - the actual length value can be paste from the clipboard (Ctrl + V)

Now it should match the dimension ...

Note: I used the theoretical measurement (257.6412) only as example.

Thanks bro.
Dimensions matching nearly, but not exact numbers.
This is enough for now.
