HI everybody

I have a question about dimension when I export a SU model with iges- export.

My model has rectangle tubes. When I make an igs export of the model then the dimensions in the iges model are by the factor 25.4 bigger then in SU. (If needed I can also proviede a skp example)

Reopen the iges file in FreeCAD then the dimensions are the same as in SU. But when I send the iges model to a metal manufactury they tell me that the dimensions are by the factor 25.4 bigger then it should be.

It looks like ther is an conversion problem of inch to Centimeter.
Any idee what's wrong? Do I have to make any setup in SU?

PS: Beside the dimension problem the export works very good!

Dimension Problems

I have a sketchup model design in centimeter.
When I export the model to igs then the dimensions in the igs model are by the factor 25.4 bigger then in SU.

Tests:
--> Open the igs file in FreeCAD then the dimensions are the same as in SU.
--> But when I send the igs model to a metal manufactury they tell me that the dimensions are by the factor 25.4 bigger then it should be.

It looks like ther is an conversion problem of inch to centimeter.
Any idee what's wrong? Do I have to make any setup in SU?
