SVG scale is wrong

[Anonymous]

I've been working in Fusion for about a year now.  Sometimes I layout my model drawing in Illustrator and then insert it in Fusion as an SVG.  I work everything in millimeters, but the trick to importing the drawing perfectly to scale from Illustrator into Fusion in millimeters is that you actually had the design it in points (not millimeters) in illustrator.  Then when you insert it into Fusion it would be the correct scale in millimeters (example: 100points in (Illustrator) SVG = 100mm in Fusion).  The drawing (or sketch) would also be in the correct location in (Top View) that corresponded with the canvas size in illustrator (meaning the upper left hand corner of the Illustrator SVG canvas was the center point in the top view of Fusion--I hope that's clear).

Well the problem is, now that you all have made some updates (I'm not exactly sure when), this trick now does not work at all.  When you import a SVG in points it comes in super small (100 x 100points is oddly 26.458 x 26.458mm).  So I tried it in millimeters and it too is incorrect (100 x 100mm square is only 75 x 75mm).  What Happened??  Why has this feature changed and now doesn't work at all?

I just exported DFX in Illustrator using inches as the units with a scale of 1. Then, imported into Fusion 360 and changed the units to Millimetres. It seems to have scaled it correctly. Perhaps worth trying for anyone who comes across this post.
