Hi @https://grabcad.com/cyrhuz.sortijas.bocar-1, You've mentioned earlier that your license is about to expire. The good news is it will prompt you options of renewing your educational license. I figured that you asked about these because you're worried that your precious thesis file that you put in so much effort will be lost. Luckily all design files from f360 is saved in the cloud (internet connection required). So there's pretty much nothing to worry about. Anyhow, here's a quick tutorial on how to save your f360 design file on your local storage as a safety precaution.

1 0 Beginner
Blender imports STL files at a 0.001 scale because the STL file format does not specify units. This means that the size of an object in an STL file is arbitrary, and it is up to the software that is importing the file to determine the scale. Blender, by default, imports STL files as if they are in meters, which means that a 1 unit cube in an STL file will be imported into Blender as a 1 meter cube. To import an STL file at a different scale, you can use the "Scale" option in the import dialog.
