Hi Alan,
I turned a trace into a ruler at the bottom
of the drawing. This way I could figure out what scaling
to use. I found the KCam left out some traces. So much for
that idea. This works with that, but it don't work with
this! KCam only imports and it saves GCode. I just
use an old version to plot and scale my DXF. I then save
them as GCode. Works great! I wish somebody would make
a simple drawing program that saves in GCode.
