    Hi all

    I have a .dxf file that can be opened in Inkscape.Β Β 

    But when I open it, it will prompt a box asking how to scale the image.

    When I choose "Automatically scale it to A4", chances are the size of the A4 canva is not large enough to cover the whole image, which means, when I am saving it to SVG, the top of the image is cropped out and not being seen.

    I can see that we can change the A4 canva in document properties, but I have to calculate/find the right scale to fit, which I can't at this moment.

    Are there any way which I can fit the image to canva, just like what can be done in Photoshop?

    Thank you very much in advance for all your help.
