In VC version 10 is new a variety of inch or feet when I export a STL
That makes trouble in my slicer (Simplify), because all values have a scale of 2,540 % ;-(

In VC version 9 there is no variety and all is well ;-)

Properties are millimeters for the units.

regards
Horst

An other point:

In properties is UNchecked "Enable Tool Tips",

nevertheless the ToolTips are coming up when starting the program.

When importing a STL-file and reparing with the PowerPack, the following re-export offers only mm and cm as scale-dimension.
Thats ergo the real contrast to the origin export out of ViaCAD 10.

Greetings
Horst

Hi Horst
Thanks for the heads up. The menu is not shown to its full length on PC requiring using the keyboard to change settings. I just updated this for the next build of 1325.

That's why "!!! Thanks!

I had not the idea to scroll up and down ;-(

And the other problem with the position of 2-color-objects ( http://forum.punchcad.co...sts&t=8327#post31720 )
seams also solved!
I tried it out. I had created the objects myself with ViaCAD 10 and couldn't export with the mm-scale, therefore the scale was inch. I don't know if there is a relation but the import of this objects had the problem with the position.
Now I have imported these STL-inch-objects once more to ViaCAD 10 and re-exported them in mm-scale. The import to simplify is ok, all objects are on their right places. That must have a reason - and I had done no changes to the settings of ViaCAD and Simplify.
