Object Import Scale (Mac)

Hi,

I've looked through the forums and other sources trying to find an answer for my question with no luck. I recently acquired a Printrbot Simple Metal and I use it with the most current version of Repetier. I'm having a lot of issue importing STL files in the correct scale. I build my models in Maxon Cinema 4D, Foundry MODO and Rhino -- all using mm as the metric system. Every time I export STL and import into Repetier for printing, the model is extremely small. It is not picking up the correct scale.

I noticed that in the Windows version of Repetier you have the option of select the "Scale" for imported objects, but I don't see the option in the Mac version.

Is this a bug in the new Repetier? I've used the program for years with no scaling issues. 

Please let me know if this can be solved!

Thanks!

    The mac host has no scale on import. It always imports 1:1. STL also has no units, so if they are not mm the exporter decided to not save as mm.
