Per this discussion (http://moi3d.com/forum/messages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8008.1), I'd like to request this feature in v4. The way I envision it working is, if I set units to inches within Moi, so I've created all my geometry in inches, but I'm exporting to a program that expects mm, selecting mm on export multiplies all dimensions (I think) by 25.4.

Hi Involute, you should be able to accomplish that by switching your units to mm before you do the export. Then either don't save that version or switch it back to continue your work.

I'll try to think about an option like you're asking about, it might be a little tricky since STL files don't have any setting in them for what unit system they are in and I don't want to make it sound like that isn't the case.

Michael, perhaps he means something different.

I normally draw in "inches" and then output my STL files in MM. To convert the inch drawing, I "select all" and then scale by 25.4 to convert the solid to MM. I then save the STL and hit undo to return the scaling to the original inches setting.

Make sense?

Hi Chris, yes I think I get it and I will see about putting in an option for units conversion for STL export.
