    Hey all!

    I created a board of 12x50 inches in Aspire. I designed my thing, then, if I export to svg, I have an issue with distance... if I switch to mm before exporting to svg, then, I miss few inches. I had 49 inches in Aspire and it went down to 44-45 inches in openbuild cam...

    Is there anything I'm missing or don't understand?

    Am I forced to use mm since the start of my project? I mean, does it create issues when switching to mm from inches?

    Thanks :)

    Use Aspire to create the GCODE: docs:software:vectric [OpenBuilds Documentation]
    OpenBuilds CAM is a free option, if you have Aspire, you have a better paid CAM - use that instead


    SVG uses "DPI" so always hard to approximate dimensions correctly. DXF uses actual units of measurement (inch/mm) and is more accurate. With SVG you will often have scaling issues moving between different applications
