Sheetcam update now scaled very large
I just updated and now imports are extremely large. A 10 inch circle imported into sheetcam is roughly 38 inches. I remember the ability to change DPI in the past but I can find where to do that now. is that the right thing to do? Can anyone lead me in the right direction. Thanks

Re: Sheetcam update now scaled very large
It is probably your drawing scaling. When you open the drawing a box pops up with a number of options. Make sure the scaling is set to 1:1. If your drawing is still slightly out you may also need to change the pixel size.

Re: Sheetcam update now scaled very large
When I open the drawing I get the drawing options popup. There is nowhere on the tab to change the ratio to 1:1 except under the custom tab and when I change it to 1:1 a 10 inch circle becomes about 1 1/2 circle. Is there another place the scaling can be changed? Also, all of my old files come across correctly. Thanks

I figured out the problem. It was an Inkscape update that caused the problem. The update changed the default template sheet from px to mm. When I changed the default template back to px everything works correctly again. Thanks for the help.
