Points in drawing coverts to mm

I have imported a fieldbook Civil 3D and the co-ordinates all look in the point file. But when I insert them in to the drawing they are converted to mm (decimal shift 3 to the right).  I can not seem to change this.  I opened a new drawing made sure the drawing units were meters etc etc, and still the drawing come in and are moved to mm positions. The point file still shows everything is correct in meters and I even click on the point in the drawing and list it and it lists correct in meters.  But the co-ordinates are in mm inside the drawing. Dimensions between them is in mm also.

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks in advance

Steve

Check the "Ambient Settings" Tab of drawing settings under "Coordinate". Is it set to mm?

 

Feature commands can override the Ambient Settings so check the "Point" Feature Settings for any overrides.
