Drawings resized?

[motoxy]

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

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.

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

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?
