Scale printing

[gharr29]

Hi

When I draw and object using inventor 2013 and convert it to an stl file for printing, the object does not appear in the same scale as it was drawn when it is uploaded to the up2 software. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

Careful with UP software, scaling mode is not absolute, but rather relatively.

Check to confirm, but last time I play with the up software, I believe there's an option for metric or imperial system. Can you check if that is the case?

I had the same issue, and things were not staying "square" or linked when scaling.

Someone on here informed me that you click on : INVENTOR ICON LOGO>PRINT>SEND TO 3D PRINT SERVICE.

I am also using 2013. I have not has a scaling issue since I started using this method, as opposed to using export to cad format.

Good luck. If there are any other issues that I can help with, please let me know.
