I've also found when going to/from some formats the unit information is
discarded such that the thing you drew in inches is quietly converted to
mm (as in 1 inch = 1 mm) when they open it.  I had a mold shop call me
and say they couldn't mold something with details that small.  I've
started including a labeled reference cube when in doubt, like 1 inch or
1 cm on a side.
