What is wrong here -

I create a panel drawing in Stardraw, and safe it as a dxf. It is done in metric, preferences in mm, saved as a CAD 2005 .dxf, with 1 unit set to 1 mm.

When I insert the block in CAD is shows that the block units are in inches, and it has a factor of 25,4. This results in the block being 25,4 times larger than it should be. To overcome this I need to set the scale of the block to be inserted to a factor of 1/25,4. This results in the panel drawing being not that accurate as the required scale factor is infinite.

There must be a better way....
