    Hi,

    New to OpenBuilds. I am planning a 1000mm x 2000mm Draw Bot for patterning large canvas projects.

    Here is a screenshot from the CAM software using a PolyLines 2013.

    The "LITTLE TINY" thing you see to the lower right is actually a piece of material that should be approximately 3 feet by 2 feet... The grid you see is 1000mm x 2000mm, as I set up in the cusom Acro Drawbot settings.

    why is it soooooo tiny 13 mm x 60mm ?????

    I am also including my DXF
