Wrong units are shown when a DXF file is imported into PowerMill

The file was exported as a metric DXF but when brought into PowerMill the file is in english.

Issue

• For example: Square of 100x100mm created in CAD when exported as *.DXF format then the square size becomes 2540x2540mm after importing it in PowerMill.
  
  

Answer

To avoid this issue, do the following:

1. Open Autodesk Manufacturing Data Exchange Utility (AMDEU)
   
2. Select the File drop menu > import
   
3. Click Browse to select the *.dxf file to import
4. Click on Resources
   
5. Set the unit to mm and press Apply
    
   Note - To save this as your import default go to the File drop menu > Save
   
6. Click OK
7. Click Import to bring in the file
8. Click on the File drop menu > Export
9. Click on Export

The new *.dxf is ready to be imported into PowerMill
