DXF Wrong Import Scale

I've been trying to work with some DXF files of a project but the scale appears to be wrong.

What I suspect is that they were created in another unit system but I am not sure.

I am attaching an example hoping that it's possible to bring them back to normal.

Couple of clarifications

I would like to ask a couple of questions that could save me a lot of time and effort. I avoid attaching sketches to faces because of the topological naming problem. I stick to choosing planes or datum planes. The thing that I find annoying is when I choose external geometry points in a sketch and d...

Fully constraining example sketch

I was following this example: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/File:T13_02 ... rofile.png

I made it but I cannot figure out how it got exactly fully constrained (without choosing a tedious path)

Would appreciate hearing your ideas. You can find it attached.

I am sorry for the naive question but I am kinda stuck on choosing a path that would be ideal to fully constraining this pocket sketch. Basically the four corners should have the same dimensions/angles etc but I don't know how to properly constrain those arcs so that nothing moves. Would really appr...

Re: Part assistance

Please find attached what I ended up designing. My problem is that the body of the model has a different shape than the outlet which makes the approach that I followed as a compromise not applicable, so I just made the body as a rectangle. I am still looking for a way however to recreate the origina...
