Problem with error message - convert from inch to mm

Dear Experts,

for some unknown reason I am now getting an error message when I import a .stl file.

"Part appears to be extremely small and may be in inches format. Would you like to automatically scale to millimeter format?"

If I click 'yes' nothing seems to appear on the workspace.

Here's the thing that hurts my head:
I have changed no settings and I was able to successfully load and print this file yesterday.

Any suggestions?

Set up:
Simplify3D v2.2.2
Leapfrog CreatrHD printer
Fusion360 used to create file

Can you post the STL file here? That way others can test it to see if it's a problem with the model

That part imports just fine for me. Although it does look like your mesh has a lot of flipped surfaces and errors, so you might want to go repair it first

After you click yes hit center and arrange. The model doesnt always get imported to the print bed. It gets imported to the location you created it in your cad software. The model is prob off in space somewhere.
