I have a dxf file that is made using mm.
my shopbot is using mach3 software setup in inches.
how can i convert the mm dxf file into inches.
so i can use vcarve to produce a cut file in inches.
thanks paul

Paul,
-Open the file in VCarve.
-In the 'Job Setup' sceen choose the unit type that the file was created in (mm).
-Exit that screen (Click 'OK')
-Re-open 'Job Setup' screen. (Red circled icon in screenshot below)
-Choose unit type that you'd like to use (inches).
May be an easier way, but that's how I do it
