When I do G0 x4 in the MDI the machine moves approximately 3/8". The stock size in Meshcam is 4.6"x4.6"

The gcode starts out g20g64g17. The native units are set in inches.

Thanks Stephen,
I went to the settings screen and made sure it was in inches g20, I also checked to see that the CAM file was being done in inches (the file is 4.68"x4.68"). The gcode file that is going into the Mach3 reads a total distance 4.68  on the DRO for X and Y. This would be great except the DRO for the actual distance should be 46.80x46.80. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am using mesh cam to create files for Mach3. When I import the files in inches the gcode files are very small (not in inches but only a couple of millimeters in size ). I've tried importing the files in millimeters but they come out only marginally bigger (20-30 millimeters in size) they should be ~4"x4". How do I change the scale in Mach3? Thank you for your help.
