Exact sizing of an imported SVG.

Post by therealcrash5050 »

I am importing some SVG files from a Carbide Create project. When I import the vectors, they are larger in Aspire than they are in the other software. I can get them pretty close by just resizing them, but I would like to make them exact. Is there a way in Aspire to directly type in the x and y dimensions of an imported vector?

They should be imported at the correct size.

Under transform objects, second icon on top row, set selected objects size :lol: :lol:

Generally speaking when I hear of things being "much larger" I suspect this: the original is in millimetres and the project being imported into is in inches.

When you scale the vectors does it say that the new size is 3.937% of the original?
