First I would check to be sure you are set up for inch in Mach if that is you units of measurement. the next this is be sure that in SheetCam you have your drawing loaded in the lower left corner of the display. There are 3 locations where this is checked under OPtions in Job and machine pages, and when you import a drawing.
