-Howdy, I have been using maya for a few years for 3d printing parts. It is very important that when I exported objects from maya they are the size they say they are in maya.
-I have had my working units for all my projects (even render room) use MM
-Well maya recently switched on all my projects to be CM, it switched a 5mm object to be a 5cm object. I tried switching my units back to MM. But maya then changed the 5cm object (that was 5mm) to be 50mm which is way to big.
-Also when I export an object, and import it, the size is totally wrong. For example I exported an object as 2.661 CM but when imported to all other programs I tried (prusa slicer, lychee)  to comes out as being 3.16MM. 


Does anyone know what to do, and why I get these issues. 
I desperately need maya to work right now. I need to have things be converted back to being in the right MM size, and for Maya to export objects correctly. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated
