[Gmsh] mesh from STEP file: correct units

[Marco Tiberga]

Dear Gmsh developers,

I want to create a mesh from a STEP file, loading it from a geo file.
The mesh should be in m (as you can see from the step file, line 2916) , but from the numbers I visualize in gmsh, I deduce the lengths are still expressed in mm (the entire domain should be around 2.5m high, but I see 2500).

How can I perform the units conversion? I tried with
factor = 1.e-3;
allpoints[] = Point "*";
Dilate{{0,0,0},{factor,factor,factor}}{Point{allpoints[]};}
but it does not seem to work.

I attached the .geo and the .stp files I am using. I use Gmsh 3.0.6.

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry if the question is stupid, but I have little experience in using gmsh with step files.

Best regards,
