Well.... Help please.

Post by cherokee-mfg »

I've been working with Inkscape, GIMP and Sheetcam for the first time. This is as far as I've gotten.

Image

How do I change the dimensions of my piece? This piece was created by using the scissors tool in GIMP, trace Bitmap in Inkscape, exporting as a .DXF and opening in Sheetcam. Really on square 1.5 here... Trying to burn some pieces out today. Not sure how to adjust the dimensions of my fitting. Definitely want them to be right.

Thanks so much!

When you import the drawing a box pops up with a number of options. Are the units set to inches? If so, try setting them to metric.

They're already metric, I'm just not sure how to adjust the sizes.... Ex., take my image that I have and resize it, confirm that it held shape through all the digitalization, etc.
