Hi Michael T - I also did a couple of simple tests with some basic shapes like a box out of Alibre and into MoI using STEP format, and these tests seem to bring the unit setting (in cm) over into MoI ok.

So there seems to be some problem dealing with something in your specific model, it seems to be having some problem with the cylinder piece on it and I guess that may be causing an error during the import process which makes it not get to handle reading in the units setting as it is supposed to.

Could you also give a try with a simple shape like a box to verify that works ok?

I've sent your STEP file to the author of the import libraries that MoI uses to ask why the units are not read in for that particular case, he may be able to figure out what is going wrong.


You may also want to try IGES format for getting your model over.


Thanks,
- Michael
