How do I ensure that VCarve imports a vector file at its native scale. I am importing out of Autocad and when I try to bring it in to VCarve (8.517) it always tries to resize it to fit the material. I need it to be "as drawn". It seamed like there was a way in older versions to tell it to maintain the scale. The fate of my R2D2 rests on it.
Thanks

Re: scaling imports
Do you have "Scale design with job size" checked on the job setup after importing? That's the only way I can see resizing would be happening.
I import DXF files daily and they always come in at the correct scale. What DXF version are you using from AutoCad? R12/R14 works best.
