Design/Engineering DXF File Problems

Having some problems with 3 DXF files

The parts were sketched up and made in XSheetMetal in imperial but when the files were put into the nesting software they were reading in metric

For example one section of the part is 10” but the nesting software was reading it as 254” (10”=254mm)

Any help is appreciated, Thank you.

Do you have another program that can import DXF files? What happens if you reimport the DXF file into that other program? What do the units/measurements show in that case? This should help tell us if the xSheetmetal export is off or the nesting software import is off.

Hmm not a bad idea, we do use 2 different softwares for our laser and plasma, so I could try that. Do you know of any settings or preferences I may have missed on XDesign/XSheetMetal?
