Convert .ipt to .stl in 2017 inventor

Anonymous

I am using inventor 2017 to convert an .ipt file to an .stl file.  When I convert the file the dimensions suddenly change but there don't seem to be any options when I go to export it as an .stl file.  Why is this happening and how can I make sure that dimensions/units aren't changed after I convert the file?

Before you press the save button hit the Options button right next to it and set the units to what your 3d printer expects..

Hit this button..
