Is there a way of setting the units  to inches when I export from 3D print to an STL file? As of now it exports in MM

Hi,

 

What units is Fusion 360 using when you do the export?

 

Thanks,

My part is designed in inches, fusion exports in mm and there is not an option to change this. I then open the STL in my slicer and I have to convert to inches. My other CAD gave the option before the export

@joe,

 

Joe I have replicated your issue and have logged it with our development staff.

Issue ID:  FUS-23955

 

As a workaround you can send it to Print Studio and then save it a STL.

@joe,

 

When you go to the 3D Print option:

Fusion will provide you with the ability to download it:

Please let me know if you see something different.
