Re: Hope This Is NOT Off Topic.

John,
I thought of that, but really want to do this myself, Learn, Mistake,
Whatever. The part is drawn on a piece of paper, and then cut
out.What I'd really like to do is shrink the drawing, But How, Then
import it into the CAD, and resize it there, then save to dxf and
then generate GCode. Maybe I'm not seeing something. This way all the
parts will be the same, as to atribute the size in the CAD DXF
export. I think I'm creating a nightmare for myself, and should
RETHINK the whole thing over again. Thanks for your Help, Hank S.
