The unit setting at max is set to metric and grid spacing to 1 meter and so at AutoCAD.
The blue line I created in max and x length is 2.0 and the red line created at cad with 2 meter length but as you see it's much shorter...why is that?
They both suppose to be equal.

I use system unit as 1 cm and metric unit cm. Have had no problem with that configuration. When you import the autocad file in import option click on the Rescale box and it will adopt the real scale. try with a cube with real values and you will see if is correct or not.
