Forgive if I'm misunderstanding the question as I do very little 3D but doesn't the Emboss Component tool in Aspire do this?

Re: DXF import way larger than VCarve sheet

When I import a DXF file the imported outline is much larger than the sheet size defined in VCarve. I don't believe I've run into this before today. Thanks Tom https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KE4kxHxE95g&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fmarklindsaycnc.com%2F&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY&feature=emb_logo
