If you are using inventor. there is no need for any form of plug ins.
open your .ipt file that is set in inches.
go to TOOLS -> Document settings
under the units tab set "length" to mm (at this point all inches in inventor will be converted to mm)
To export
File -> Export -> CAD Format
Set save type to .stl, then click options, make sure the units read millimeters
Export .stl and you're good to go.
