I am trying to create an object and I am having issues with scale. I am using autocad to creat the object and exporting to stl file. When I open the stl file in cura it is not at the correct scale. I am drawing in model space at 1:1 so I do not understand why it is not coming into cura correctly

It may be that when you are exporting the file, Autocad is set to export the file in inches or centimeters, while Cura works in millimeters. So even through you are making the model at a 1:1 ratio, it is loading into Cura smaller than it should be due to that difference.

Ill take a look, you don’t happen to know where that setting in autocad might be?
