Re: changing dimensions of dxf size
Bill,
Please help us help you. If we know what system you are cutting with, and then what type of Cad program you are using to design/cut with, then someone (likely not me) will be able to steer you in the right direction. My recommendation is to put this information in your signature so that it is in every post. Then we know better what type of steps to give you. I could suggest things if it involves AutoCadd, Design Edge, or plasmacam related issues, but not other programs. Thank fully there are people in this community with all sorts of systems willing to help out if they can.

Re: changing dimensions of dxf size
In torchmateCAD, you should be able to press CTRL+A to select all, then use the sizing tool to make it whatever size you need. YOu can also just drag one of the corners to size it up as well.
