An autoscale function would be very useful, but please make sure to put in an options box so we can decide how much to scale up/down, or at least give it a check box so we can deactivate the autoscaling on export if we want.

Autoscaling import/export is one of those good ideas whose inconsistent implementations drives me crazy. The different scaling factors applied by different plugins in different software apps makes it even HARDER to keep track of the scale of my models than if there wasn't any autoscaling.

Note that many import/export implementations complicate the matter even further by also applying and automatic rotation. For example, the axes in 3D Studio Max are oriented differently than in most 3D apps, so many (but not all; inconsistent!) import and export plugins automatically rotate models to compensate.
