SVG scalingunit

Hello,

Is there an option to export a svg file in mm ?
it looks like from Illustrator the svg file is exported in "px" , so when imported in a CAD package the scale is not good.
And I can't find the good ratio to retrieve the right dimensions.

    Hello from Adobe,

    In File > Document Setup it is possible to change the units to "mm" for the currently open document. The document dimension units will be used on the exported SVG document. A viewBox will be used to scale the content of the document to those units. This should be good enough for other authoring tools to import the document with the correct dimensions. We currently do not use the specified units on shapes directly.

    Greetings,
    Dirk
