Got it figured out.

That's an odd increase in size of 4.57.  Doesn't make any sense.

Are the same units being used?

Whenever I get a STEP file from a customer, I use Inventor Fusion to convert it to a dwg file. Whenever I do this, the model ends up being larger than it's supposed to be. For instance I got one file yesterday and one of the dimensions is supposed to be 0.375 in. When I convert it to dwg and check the dimension again, it measures 1.715.
 
I also tried using the "STEPIN" command in AutoCAD Mechanical 2013, but I get the same result. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix or way around this?
 
Thanks.
