Scaling Up or Down a Project

Post by ricklach »

I have an inlay project that I want to scale up and down based on my requirements related to work piece size and simply recalculate the cut list. What is the best way to do this?

I'm assuming you mean you have multiple separate vectors/components when you say cut list.
Vectric software doesn't create or use a cut list so some clarification is required.

So if you have multiple vectors/components that are one item then Select all and do a Set Selected Object Size or manually enlarge by dragging a handle.

So if you have multiple vectors/components that are seperate NOT forming one item then Select each component/vector and do a Set Selected Object Size. Just use the resize factor.

Just to add that once you have resized the vectors for the project you would need to use the recalculate all toolpaths function to change the toolpaths to the new sizing. :lol:
