Project is small

OK guys I'm new to 3D printing and I've made my first model. I used AutoCad 2007 to make my model. I exported it as a stl file and opened cura but when I open it, it's very small.

Is it going to print it that size or did I do something wrong.

 

I started in inches cause that's how I work but I think I converted it to mm

    Yes, it will print at that size. Cura is metric, so if you're not sure you converted it to metric or not that should be the first thing you check. Alternatively you can scale it within Cura.

    And where is this located. I'm using the latest cura 4.6. I see the scale menu when I click on the object but it says 100%

    The dimensions I see in the far left are what it should be in inches.

    Remember I'm new and this is my first project I've done not some preloaded test.

    So a explanation of how would help.

    Thanks

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
