wrong scale factor in CGM

[rele]

Hi, I use CGM- and DXF-files for my drawings. When opening the DXF-file with the ABViewer everything is alright, but when opening the CGM-file there are some problems. The CGM-file has another scale factor than the origin file. For measurement it is no problem, because I can handle it with the “set size as”- tool, but this changes does not appear in the preference panel. So when I mark an arc or a circle, the scale factor of the radius does not change. Also when using the dimension tool, it appears in a much bigger size than the drawing. So I always have to correct the arrow size and the text high and have to fill in the right distance.
I hope someone can help me with this problem, thanks.
