Weirdness when importing from solid edge ST10

Hi,

I am using solid edge ST10 for my 3D modelling this is fine. However when I come to insert .stl files into slic3r the models come out really tiny, I mean a 200mm part is maybe 2 mm long. I have scaled up by 25400 and the parts are about the right size but obviously there details are gone.
Is this a known problem or is it jut something happening to me?

Thanks

25400 sounds like some imperial vs metric confusion?

That's why I tried it, I probably should have printed it at that so I could measure the print and see if it really was 25400 or just that was close. When at that sort of scale a few hundred here and there are hard to spot.
I use solid edge at work and when we had ST8 I had one or two odd prints but since we upgraded every model is tiny.

Solved it. One of the IT guys at work noticed an options button when you save as translated. In spite of every setting in solid edge being metric it was set to inches for translating to stl files.
