Hey all

I hope someone out there can help me out. I have created a 3D model of "bb280
(sword)" using Autodesk Inventor. I built it using metric dimensions. I have
made a stl file from it. Using the stl2dat program I get a dat model but the
size is all wrong, tiny in fact.  What am I doing wrong? Is the a setting I am
not understanding? Is there a way of converting the scale? Where do you adjust
parameters in stl2dat? Confusion is setting in.

Thanks
signed, Down and out in scaleland

(...) (URL) clearly: "Use LDraw Unit, not millimeters. (20 = length of 1x1 brick)" (...) You'll have to scale your part in autocad before conversion or start from the scratch using LDUs: (URL) (17 years ago, 3-Jan-08, to lugnet.cad)
