Hi Dave
A while back I believe Jeff Howard posted some information on how to change
the header in a Sat file.
Ahh here it is ....maybe this will help
*********************************************
This get's confusing for a simple guy like myself, but I think the acad file
that was written out had units set as mm or mm was used as an export option.
Anyway, open the .sat in Notepad and look at the third line. It should
like:
1 9.9999999999999995e-007 1e-010
if it's written out as mm's.
The first field is the unit scale factor, so
1 = mm,
25.3999... = inch,
-1 = unitless,
etc.
(ACIS is unitless, but uses a default of mm to avoid confusion, therefore
scale factor 1 = mm.)
If this is the case, change the first field to "-1". This tells the reading
system that the model in "unitless" and you should be able to spec the units
when opening the file. If that doesn't do it holler back and we'll try
again.
