Hi,
which version of AutoCAD do you have?
Can you upload the drawing so we can see the content and play with the data on our systems?

Hi,
nothing attached, can you try
a) to zip the file and upload the zip
b) use another Internet browser to answer & attach

I put the file in a zip and I'm uploading it in Chrome this time. Hopefully this works.

Hi,
your drawing is successfully uploaded now ![]()
It contains 3D-Solid objects which can directly be exported as STL.
And the two blockreferences (with the name "A$C3AD50F07") are not that easy to identify, copying the content of the blockdefinition into a new drawing shows what it should be, but I don't see the content in modelspace ... strange.
What did you do to get such a blockname? Or did you create this part with another software and imported it into AutoCAD?
However, which program do you use to convert the STL to GCODE for your printer?
Most appications (e.g. Cura or Simplify3D) do have the option to do their own scaling and that is what I would do, create the 3D-Solid with scale 1 and then rescale the Z-value in your slicing application ... will that work?

Hi,
>> The software is called "Cube Print"
I guess most software packages do have the option to scale the STL content, so also scaling your object X=70%, Y=70% and Z=100% (as you had scaled the blockreference) should work well.
For your drawing: I don't know what happened to your block as I don't see the block-content in modelspace. But at least to explode a block with different X/Y/Z-scalings is always an issue (also from geometry side). If you do have the original path and contour I would first change the path in Z-direction (height of helix) and then create the 3D-solid from scratch.
