sizeing issue

Post by richard page »

I checked the box you mention on sheetcam and i t is set to metric 1.1. To put an end to this i played around with the custom scaling and have set the scale at 1.0.91, the measurments are to within a 10th of a mm over 300mm which for what i need is accurate enough for me.

Thankyou for you help

I had the same issue and fixed it. To ensure this happens do the following:

----> Export dxf only with top view, camera parallel projection mode.

Note: One way to ensure the scale will be exported correctly (e.g. Full Scale 1:1) is to check the options. If Full Scale (1:1) is check you will be good. If you aren't top view parallel project the scale numbers will be filled in and the Full Scale (1:1) option will be grayed out.

I figured this out then found the following link which also had this and a ton more info.
