[Gmsh] Units used in STEP and MSH

Hello,

I'm running into a problem when merging a STEP file with a MSH file.
Both are supposed to relate to the same geometry, which is roughly a
half-sphere with radius "50", but GMSH loads the two files using
apparently using different units. The STEP ends up with a radius of
"50000", as if GMSH understands the MSH units as mm but the STEP ones as
meters.

Is there a simple way to correct that ? Except calling scaleMesh() ?

Thanks in advance,
