sbgunderson Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Hello all, Thanks in advance for the help. I am trying to export a file as a svg. After that I would like to convert it into a .dxf to send out for cnc laser cutting. The shapes are very simple. The document is in mm. If I export the file as a svg and then open a new document to place the file, the size does not seem to retain the proper scale. The imported file has dimensions ~4.5 times larger than the original. Please help if you can, what can I do to export the file and retain the proper dimensionality? Many thanks, Spencer shift linkage support.afdesign
