Autodesk Inventor exporting problem

Hi,

I am having a hard time with AutoDesk Inventor, 

When I export my parts to .stl and load them in netfab/meshmixer/prusasilver they are always in the wrong scale.

I am designing the parts in MM so it should be a problem, but Netfab for instance scales the parts by a factor of 10.

Measurements that should be 190mm are now 19mm .. and when I try to scale the part up, it does not equal my Inventor measurements.

I think because Netfab is dropping points, ie; 172.469 becomes 17.2, so when scaled everything gets out of whack.

Anyone have this problem, a solution, or advice on how to fix this issue.

Thanks,

Lance

RE: Autodesk Inventor exporting problem

could the export profile be set to cm rather than mm?
