Hi there, I’m new here. I have opened a blank document in Inkscape and changed the document properties the mm and the size to 60mm x 60mm. I then imported an image and did a bitmap trace. I then deleted the original image and kept just the trace. I use extension and gcode tools to set origin points. Then I did the path to code and saved the file.
I opened Candle and opened the saved gcode file from above. It opens fine and the image looks great…..but the overall dimensions are 222mmx222mm instead of 60mmx60mm! Why is this. I’m running the latest version of Inkscape and candle on windows 11. My CNC is the Fox Alien 4040-ex masuter.
