Part not to scale
We are new to the Vectric software and have been please how easy it is to use. The only issue we have is the first part we have gone to product is not to scale. It is 210mm wide instead of 525mm. The machine is an old Roland 650. Can anyone help?

Re: Part not to scale
Going by the ratio of size difference I'd say there's a mismatch between imperial and metric somewhere.
You can use whatever units you like in the Vectric software (everything gets converted at the toolpath save stage) but if you output the toolpath files using a metric Post Processor then your Roland would have to be set for metric as well and obviously the same for imperial.
