AutoCad 2004 to SW 2004

[g60dude]

Hows it going? Trying to convert AutoCad 2004 solids to SW2004 using an .SAT file. It all works well, except it converts it from inches to milimeters. Not changing the amount of the length number just the unit. Example. Drew something 80 inches in Autocad. Comes into SW as 80 mm. Any ideas?

Thanks
Greg

What are settings in default part template for SW?

the default part template in SW is correct......In Autocad there is no options when you export. We just figured out Autocad must have left something out because a guy that works here has Autocad 2002 and it prompts him how to export it.......

I tried it here with ACAD 06, it did not prompt me. My settings in ACAD were in inches. I checked the model in SW after importing the .sat, settings were in inches.
