General Mach Discussion / Re: I say inches mach3 cuts in mm

Thank you both for your suggestions ,it does appear to be set up in millimeters, I've tried to change native units by going in to configure menu but it still doesn't help. I set it to inches on install, its in inches now, and my motor tuning velocity and acceleration are measured in inches too. Everything is very very small. Even the test G codes in my mach3 file cut to about the size of a dime. I don't mind leaving it set up in millimeters and using my drawing and CAM software in millimeters as well but that doesn't seem to help either. I tried drawing in millimeter mode and it still comes out extremely small. I've been at this all weekend and all day just trying to fix this one issue. I spent so much time getting my drawings ready to cut and now it seems to be cutting everything perfectly well, just small. I'm running out of things to try short of reinstalling mach3. I just don't think it's an install issue though. My axis values are still measuring in millimeters too. When I jog my X Y orZ axis to a value of 3.000 it has moved a distance of 3 millimeters rather than inches but everything else says it's set up in inches. Nothing I try seems to change this.
