Hi, Distances between pins should'nt be 100 mils? (standard 2,54 mm) In this case there is an issue in the DXF export (distances between pins are 1000 mils)
The button Inches/mm (in export window) only affects the drilling symbols legend at the bottom of drawing. I found a way to scale the imported DXF file by a factor 0,1 in Solidworks. This workaround works for me.
