   Hello,
I have a problem with a DWG design that I have had done as my manufacturer has asked for the details in a STEP format. In trying to convert it has changed the size of the device from 118mm to 1.8m.

Please can anyone advise what has gone wrong as we are not able to resize it?

Many thanks in advance

John

	You are probably using a wrong units setting (inches/mm) in the STEPOUT process. See the tip: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/set-units-for-step-export-from-autocad-tip9818 Edited by Vladimir Michl - 11.May.2014 at 10:56
