There are several. You can do it globally, using "-clscale" on the 
command line, "Tools->Options->Mesh->General->Characteristic length 
factor" in the GUI, or "Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFactor=xxx;" in a GEO 
file that merges the STEP file.

Or you can do it locally "per point", by adding "Characteristic 
Length{point_number,point_number,...} = xxx;" commands in a GEO file
that merges the STEP file.

You can also use all the more advanced char length definition methods 
(background mesh, etc.)
