      In the file open dialog box, when you select the file type as STL, you can select the units that you want to import in. By default it is set to Automatic. You can change it to Feet (or other options available) before importing it. You can then go to File > SpaceClaim Options > Units > Type = Imperial, Length = Feet to change the units in which the dimensions are displayed for that document. Keywords: stl, wrong scale, units, scdm
