Hi!
I'm a newbie.
Is there a way to change job size, in this case, make it a little smaller, keeping double side vectors in the same position to each other? The Job has guide lines.
When I do this change, the alignment of the double side vectors in relation to left job side, stays the same, however, in the right, side they go out of job side limits.
Thank you for any help!
I apologize for any error in my English.
I'm from Portugal.

Re: change job size keeping double side vectors in same position
From what you've described I suspect that your job XY Datum Position is set to the lower left. If that is true then I suspect that the following should work:
Oops! It would help if I attached the image...
- before resizing, change the datum to the centre (see image below). Click OK to apply.
- change your job size. Click OK to apply. Verify no movements.
- reset your datum to the lower left. Click OK to apply.

Would it be possible to copy all items in the project.
Create a new Project with the new dimensions.
Paste all the objects from the first project copied.
Nothing should change right?

Nope, things can change.

Re: change job size keeping double side vectors in same position
Yeah. I view copy & paste, etc. as being "destructive" and I like to avoid that as much as possible.
I just tested my suggestion above on a project I needed to resize and (at least on VCarve v9.519) it a) works and b) you don't need to click OK between steps 1 and 2 & 2 and 3.
