General Mach Discussion / Scaling Mach3 imported dxf files

« on: April 24, 2017, 08:34:00 PM »

I have Mach3 and Meshcam. I have bought dxf files off eBay and imported, I seem to have no problems with Meshcam, BUT, when I try cutting I end up with a profile of about 2" square. The dxf files are around 200,000 in I want to cut on a 10" square. Ends up in one corner. I Ave read about everything I can find on scaling and am totally confused.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
