cutup0017 1 Posted October 16, 2018 Greetings, I am a fabricator. I am interested plotting templates using drawing .dxf files from TurboCad. When I import a .dxf file from the Cad program it is displayed smaller then the size that it was drawn. I am using VinlyMaster Cut 4.0. Is there a method to keep the import file the same size when displayed in VinlyMaster Cut 4.0. Thanks for any help received. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted October 16, 2018 I have had some import scale issues in Adobe Illustrator as well when importing a dxf. In my case I just needed it at a final overall width so I just scaled it up to that. I never did figure out why it was off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted October 16, 2018 while dxf is a vector, it can do some weird stuff when opened in a vector graphic program vs a cad program. Do you have any other export options from TurboCad? EPS would be ideal. PDF might work as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cutup0017 1 Posted October 16, 2018 Hi, thanks for the help. I can save as from the Cad program many different file types. I will try some different file extinctions and post the results if successful. thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cutup0017 1 Posted October 16, 2018 Hi, I found a solution that is working for me. After I import a .dxf file I use the scale tool to resize the drawing. Because I used a cad program to create the template I know the width and height . Thanks for the help. Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
