Drawings resized?
When i loaded up a drawing the shape had reduced by almost half. Any ideas why?

Re: Drawings resized?
Need more information really. What do you mean by loaded up? Did you import a file from (DXF, EPS, etc) another application? Was it a file that you created and saved from VCarve and it resized when you re-opened it?
I'll guess that you're importing/opening a DXF file. The most likely answer is that it's been exported in different units to what it was designed in.

Re: Drawings resized?
to add to what Adrian has said, is it a bitmap image or vectors?
The actual CRV file (copyright permitting) or screen shots are always helpful
Where abouts are you based? Just being nosey as it says Scotland

Re: Drawings resized?
Following up Adrian's comment. I've seen DEG and DXF exported from Solidworks where the person exporting the file was working in 2:1 scale but did not specify 1:1 for the export so Soldworks exported the file at half-scale. Perhaps something similar is going on here?
