Non Librecad DWG file has wrong dimensions when opened in LC

I have a whole set of house plans created twenty years ago on a long-forgotten cad system that are in DWG format.  I can open the DWG files in Librecad 2.1.3.  When I use the dimension function in Librecad, the dimension numbers are wrong.  

Example, for a line in the DWG file that measured 100cm, the Librecad dimension function shows the line to be 110cm.

My question is what do I do in Librecad to change the DWG file so the dimensions generated in the Librecad dimension function  match reality.
