[img]thanks for your reply in Mach3 everything is oke and set in mm.
the problem is wen i import a file that a made in corel draw ore autocad in mm ,in lazycam after importing the x-y stock size is in inch
so when i draw a squire of 1oo mm after importing in lazycam the x-y values are then 3.9350
so 3.9350x25.4=100 mm   note 1 inch =25.4mm
