Default Importing from AutoCad

Hi,
I have to import .dxf from autocad. which is made in millimeters. WhenI import the shape i want to see the same measurement. Is there any particular scaling option? Becoz after importing, I never get same measurement even after changing units to mm.
Thanks :

Default Re: Importing from AutoCad

This is what you need to do to view all your units in Milimeters after import:

Set System Units = Inches
Set Display Units = Milimeters
Import and make sure Rescale Units is on
Set the Units of your DXF in the dropdown
Import

All units should now match.
