EXPORT FROM SHEETCAM UPDATE

So Instead of picking 1:1 I make it 1.9375 and it's perfect. Sheet cam gives you an option at every import to select the scale to import in. So I just divided what it should be, by what it was. Obviously I had to make sure the units were the same in each program on export and import as well.В My 10 inch square imported at roughly 10.6667. In the end, I just did some math to see what the factor was that Sheetcam was changing my designs by. As much as Inkscape got me started in vector design, I didn't want to have to run my designs through just to make a DXF (which still didn't import perfectly anyway)В soВ I tried using pixels, mm, changing the DPI, but it wasn't working. I could not get the scale to remain where I wanted it. I was having issues taking my vector designs from Affinity Designer in SVG into a program called Sheetcam for operating my cnc plasma.

EXPORT FROM SHEETCAM UPDATE

This was what I was doing when exporting out the 10mm Circle, which in turn I found that exporting with Area: Whole Document and Area: Selection without Background gave quite drastically different sizes when importing into Carbide Create, which also seems wrong! I'll update development with thatДЇigured I'd chime in here and on some other threads I've been to recently, hopefully if anyone is searching for what I was, they will end up here. If you select which objects you want to export and change 'Area: Whole Document' to 'Area: Selection without Background'В option you can limit your export to the selected objects. It sounds as though you didn't realise it was possible to limit the export to selected objects. PS: Strange that AD opens its own creation at a different size! I am trying to import a DXF file in to sheetcam export from inkscape. More files, more confusion, especially if I want to modify. The image was converted online, then opened in Inkscape. Designer seems to export everything including hidden layers meaning I have to save a copy for each layer I want to export and delete the remaining layers from that copy. One other advantage of Graphic over Designer is that Graphic allows creation of SVGs from a layer or selected objects. Then I use Graphic to create the SVG whichВ sizes perfectly in CC. My workflow right now is to use Designer to create the art then copy the image and paste it into Graphic (iDraw). I.e., multiple toolpaths executed from multiple SVGs at multiple times needing to coincide. But even if I can replicate your results, it's not good enough for my use where inlays must match pockets and engraving must fit precisly on the inlay. So I'm wondering what gets you closer to 1:1 I'm working in mm, sounds like you are too. This makes sense considering SVGs are vectors. (There it is again, the 5.6X factor.)ДЄn apparently knowledgeable source on the Carbide 3D forum states that the DPI should have nothing to do with this. In fact, I've just made my own 10mm circle which measures 1.79 mm in CC. I have done several manipulations like greatly enlarging the document and object size but still see the huge size reduction. This is much different than my experience. Indeed, your 10mm opens about 9mm in Carbide Create (CC).
