Scale when importing a DXF

$

Hi,

 

ia am using Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express 4.

 

I want to create a 3D Body out of an imported DXF drawing.

 

I have drawn the DXF in scale 25.40 but before exporting to DXF I changed to 1:1.
If I measure DXF in my 2D CAD I get 84mm.

 

But when i import it the scale is wrong. I get 2133,6mm instead of 84mm (a factor of 25.4).

 

The 3D Body has correct length (84mm) after editing scale to 25.4.

In Annotation the length is wrong with 2133,6mm!

 

When I enter this factor to the units under system settings, i can measure the correct values.

 

But when i do a STL export then I get a body without this factor.

 

Is it possible to enter a "hard" factor while importing a DXF, that the base data is correct

and the system does not referr to the wrong imperial dxf data.
