Rich that worked thank you.  By using a scale factor of 10 in X & Y it routed out an image of about 4X3".  So I was able to determine that I could run and output code.  Something else I was wondering is how can I import a G code file and tell what the properties of the file are like units (inches or mm) or output size.

General Mach Discussion / Newbie set up question

I just got Mach3 licensed got my ports configured and the motors tuned.  All axes responds well to manual control.   But when I try to run the roadrunner file recommended as a test in the videos I run into a problem.  The program seems to run to completion but it routes out the entire design in an area about 20mm sq.  I can’t image that this is the plan.  So I must have something misconfigured in Mach3.  The manual says I can scale a part but I don’t see where it tells me how.  I would appreciate any suggestions
