IMPORT: McMaster Carr parts

My experience is that McMaster Carr parts are moderately accurate. They did contract out the work to make those models a long time ago, and are prolly completely unaware of any issues with their models. You may wish to contact them to let them know you've found an error.

Have you tried one of the other available formats for that part?

I've only run into that with models of fasteners from McMaster. It's not 100% consistent and when I find one that's small, I scale it up by

I've had excellent luck with McMaster-Carr parts. With both McMaster parts and Misumi parts typically the first thing I do after downloading them is assign the proper material. I have not run into any inch/metric conversion issues though, and I work 99% in metric.

To your specific problem, I would just adjust the units accordingly in the settings for that file. If the scale is still off, then just use the scale function. Like the others said, informing McMaster wouldn't be a bad idea, they are pretty quick to address any issues.

Its just a SAT file in metric units, 25.4 mm to the inch

We are talking STEP not SAT.
