UNV import in [mm]

harryvanlangen

My UNV file has dimensions in [mm], but upon import Mecway assumes it is in [m]. Is there a way to change this setting?

It should respect the units in the file but might display them converted to some other unit that you've been using. If they're not converted correctly, could you attach an example .unv file and tell me what software made it?

Some software writes the wrong units to .unv files so there's an option in the Tools -> Labs menu to get Mecway to ignore what the file says and ask you when you open the file. If there's no Labs menu, enable it through Tools -> Options -> General -> Labs.

Thanks Victor. The UNV was made with FreeCAD and the Labs option did the trick. "Attach File" does not allow me to attach an UNV, but it indeed shows the unit as [Meter], whereas the mesh dimensions are in [mm].
