Converting to STL format

I have multiple parts in Inventor and whenever I convert them to STL format it is converting the units. The parts were created in mm but when i 3D printed them they came out about 10 times bigger than it should. I am unsure of what is is converting it by because when i changed the part to cm in Inventor the STL file that I 3D printed came out to be mm which is exactly what i want. I can only use STL format for this particular printer. But I can't afford to guess if my dimensions are correct.

When saving the stl file select the Options and make sure the units match your model units.

 

If you are still facing trouble - attach your *.ipt file here and the resulting *.stl file.
