Maybe I can try reformatting the computer used for controlling the CNC machine. It seems to work with my desktop.
Thanks Graham.

Hi Graham
Your program works perfect for me, thanks very mutch.
Just out off curiosity, what is the difference between the two versions?

Hi Willem,
thank you for your comments, the only difference is the earlier one was limited to 32000 lines of code.

nice program,simple to operate.Thanks
i likes its scaling feature.and it would be much better if we could control the z depth separately.
i used custom scale as 10,so my X-Y values become 10 times larger and also made Z depth to 10 times.

[flash=200,200]I downloaded file and everything work as far as the conversion goes.
the problem i have is when i tried to run the file.
[i tried an aircut ] the file size has been reduced to a faction of the original size.
tried on two computers same problem.
enclosed is both files before and after.
thanks

My above post is a bit misleading i was sent a dxf that was made in mm i then took that file into vcarvepro
and made a cut file in mm.
then use the converted to turn it into an inch file.
an easier way to go is if i was able to change the dxf mm file into a dxf inch file.
is that possible?

The file size has reduced by about 3600 characters this is because when you convert a mm size say 127.000 to inches you get 5. a saving of 5 characters multiply this by hundreds of conversions and the file shrinks by a large amount.
Have you found a fault in the converted file?
You can convert a DXF file in mm to inches by scaling it by 1:25.4th (0.03937) the metric cam system will think its a very small part but scale the tools too and the output will be inches, you will just need to change the G21 to G20.
