i have alot of problem when doing some conversion from inventor to autocad and vice versa. the problem is like this..

i want to scale a 3d object but i still don`t know if can do this in inventor so i brought/export the object to *.SAT then insert them to autocad but wow... in autocad the measurement became so wrong..  (small)

as an info: i have change the unit setting in autocad to mm (set to match the inventor setting) before i do the insertion of *.SAT to autocad
i change the measurement through menu format > unit > insertion scale

and if the i scale the object to follow the right measurement at autocad.. then when i open in inventor it also became so wrong (its huge)

but this doesn't happening in export and import using inventor with another 3d package ie: spaceclaim but space claim can't also do the scaling

so what did i do wrong here..  and could you point me how to do the right export and import in autocad..

thanks


*i use autocad and inventor 2010 and tested also with spaceclaim 2010
