Incorrect Units when Exporting Slices

toxicvoxel · 6 May 2008, 08:44

Maybe somebody can check if they get the same issue:
When exporting slices from models set up in metric millimeters it exports the file (dwg) as inches.
(1200mm = 1200 inches).
I think the exporter is just setting the incorrect unit flag in the file.

Yes I have the same in all DWG exports:

The units get exported right ( 1 mm in SU = 1 unit in the DWG file)

BUT

the scale flags in the DWG file all have Imperial values (Measurement, for instance, is set to 0), so if you have your AutoCad set up to recognize the scale values (as per default), everything gets imported 25.4 times too big.

I already posted a bug report about this some weeks ago.
