Bring it into Mechanical Desktop and scale it, then ACISOUT...
Inventor, after 10 releases STILL HAS NO PART SCALING CAPABILITY, heinous,
reprehensible, inexcusable, ridiculous.

I have just been importing in some vendor .sat files. When I bring them in,
the units are wrong. No matter what I chose in the options for the units
(inches or mm), the model is always 25.4 times too large. I know I can edit
the third line of the .sat file and change it from 25.4 to 1 and the import
comes in correctly.
My question, what do I have to do to import a .sat file and not have to
manually edit the file before importing? Is something wacked about the
import?
I am sure others have this same issue.
Sample of the .sat file:
