When I link a blend file, why is the object showing up at 1/10th the scale? I have two blend files. Both files use distance in meters. The first file is a character of 2.267 meters tall. The second file is a single handed axe of height 56 centimeters. When I link the axe object to the character file the axe shows up, but is only 5.6 centimeters in height.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Two reasons this can happen are:


The file you are appending into has different units from the file you are appending from. You can go to the Units panel in the Scene tab to verify this.
You are using either Metric or Imperial units and the Scale value is different in both files.
