Scale issues

When I create a model in 3D (Inventor) and then I export it as a SAT file and then import the SAT file into AutoCAD and convert it to a 3D DXF file the file is 12 times as big? Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks

What are your Inventor units?

 

What are your AutoCAD -dwgunits (Not Units, -dwgunits with the - sign)?

Inventor units = inches
AutoCAD units = inches

Can you create a 1x1x1 cube and attach ipt, sat, dwg and dxf files here?

Isn't there a box in the Import section that allows you to set the units for the import of the file. Sounds like one is in Inches and the other in Feet for the 12X factor.

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file
