Exporting units?!

Hi Onshape Community,
I'm having an issue with OnShape. I'll export a Part Studio and it will change the units, and therefore the size of the part on me. For just one instance, I'm working with a fairly simple part that's essentially a 3" diameter disc (linked below). When I export (I'm using .stl and .step) it comes out as a 3mm diameter part! That's how the file is read by Meshmixer, Shapeways.com, thingverse, and several other systems. It's not me, and I'm not crazy, but I might be getting there! Please help!

Try exporting it with units set to mm
IR for AS/NZS 1100
Does changing the workspace units to mm fix it?
IR for AS/NZS 1100
So if you export the piece as a 3in. diameter part, but the other software is set to mm, then it will come in as a 3mm diameter part. You have to make sure that the import/export units settings are the same for both software.
