Importing and Exporting File Issues

When I import an .sat file created in AutoCAD 2004 with units in inches Onshape thinks the units are mm and the part is scaled down by a factor of 25.4. If i convert the units in AutoCAD 2004 to mm before creating the .sat file, the import into Onshape is scaled correctly. Also I am using Cura 1.2 slicing program for creating gcode files for 3D printing. If I export the .stl from Onshape in inches I see the same scaling issue that I saw with AutoCAD 2004. If I export the .stl file in mm the scaling is correct in Cura 1.2.
I'm not sure on which end (Onshape, AutoCAD 2004, Cura 1.2) the issues exist, but I thought I would report them here in case this is an Onshape issue that others are experiencing as well.
