There are several. You can do it globally, using "-clscale" on the
command line, "Tools->Options->Mesh->General->Characteristic length
factor" in the GUI, or "Mesh.CharacteristicLengthFactor=xxx;" in a GEO
file that merges the STEP file.
Or you can do it locally "per point", by adding "Characteristic
Length{point_number,point_number,...} = xxx;" commands in a GEO file
that merges the STEP file.
You can also use all the more advanced char length definition methods
(background mesh, etc.)
