Folks -
Okay, this is related to my post over in PW... When I imported a vector drafted in AI, somehow it converted the inches to MM, and then rescaled the object so that it was HUGE - everything was multiplied by 25.4... I rescaled, so it really wasn't that big a deal, but it is an extra step.
Now, I nested the objects on a 4x4 panel and was able to fit 17 2&7/16x35" fence pickets on the sheet. Everything fits - In PW, that is...
When I open the file in SB and preview the cutting, the group of pickets is larger than the machine table! They aren't "huge" by a factor of 25.4, but they appear to be about 4 or 5" wide and about 5' tall... This is a new wrinkle...
Ideas? Where to I start to look for the problem?
