Explanation
DWG is the native AutoCAD drawing file format. When a DWG file is imported into Ekahau Site Survey (ESS), the application reads the embedded scale metadata and unit definitions from the CAD drawing and automatically scales the floor plan to the correct real-world dimensions. This eliminates the need to manually calibrate the map scale with a reference distance measurement. JPEG and PNG are raster image formats with no embedded scale data, so the user must manually set the scale in ESS. PDF files may contain vector data but are not auto-scaled by ESS the way DWG files are. Automated scaling from DWG significantly reduces setup error in site survey planning.
