Anyone have GCode or DXF for something similar to my attached image? Or if at all possible willing to turn this into a Gcode/DXF?

Nice, Steve, can you put up the dxf so it can be used to do a vcarving?

 hi  Andrew
 i think your dragon is way cool  i am new to this .
 the down load of the dragon gives x 630.8750 then y axis is 611.2970 if did my math right mm to standard y axis is just over 24 in.
i have a diy cnc router x74.5 y 23.5in 611.2970 mm is hitting limit SW  y + i tried to look this up in the manual and i remember resizeing or scalling somthing like that except i cant find what im looking for to reduce the size of your dragon by 10 % im  a newbie  i am not sure if i am  useing the right word i really want to make your dragon but more important to me to learn how to make my own stuff i dont care what example i work on i just need to know figure this out. is resizeing the right word   was going to run dragon file with z axis -0.030 in mdf see how it looks
Can you get me going in the right direction i have been studying gcodes and m codes  is plain to see i havent study enough
thank you muke

On the main screen you have scale entries next to the position dro,s click one of them and enter 0.9 and hit enter do this on both X & Y axis.
