While importing a dwg/dxf file from autocad to shapr3d, the dimensions gets changed (it increased to multiple times the original) Need help in this. For eg. importing a square from with 750 mm side in autocad would appear as a square with 25,000 mm side in shapr3d after import.
Thanks

Hi and welcome !
I’ve tested Adobe Illustrator and MoI 3D to export in DXF
Import in SHAPR3D. Both keep good dimensions.

To Export a Drawing to a DXF File

  1. Click Application menu Save As Other Formats.
  2. Click File menu Save As.
  3. In the Save Drawing As dialog box, in the Files of type box, select a DXF format.
  4. Select a folder and enter a file name.
  5. Click Save.
    Nothing about dimensions or options in AutoCad export.

Is it possible your dxf export is in inches? Can you export dxf to an older version of Autocad?
