This seems to have been touched on a couple of times elsewhere, but I haven't managed to find a solution so far (other than scaling back to mm after exporting to DXF, but this isn't ideal). So, my question is, how can I export a sketch to DXF with metric/mm units? Looking in the DXF file of the drawing, $MEASUREMENT is now set to 1 (metric/mm). When I try creating a drawing from my sketch in ISO format, and then exporting the drawing as a DXF, if I then open the DXF file in Inkscape, my image is the right size (60mm x 60mm) but then I have the rest of the drawing as well, rather than just my sketch which is what I want. Steps to reproduce: Open Inkscape Ensure Document Units/Custom size units are in mm Set scale to 7 (or more realistically, a value like 3. If I look in the DXF file with a text editor, I can see that $MEASUREMENT is set to 0 (which I believe corresponds to English/inches units). Exporting a dxf R12 version results in dxf objects that are scaled up/down if the document scale is not 1. My Onshape document is set to mm as the units. When I then go to open the DXF file in another program (such as Inkscape) and ask it to 'Read scaling method from file', then my image comes up as 60" by 60" rather than 60mm x 60mm. I've been doing this by right-clicking on the sketch and selecting 'Export as DXF/DWG'. I'm trying to export a sketch in Onshape to a DXF file.
