Hello,
when I open a DXF file on CAD program of the laser cutter, everything is to small, when ii's made from a drawing of onshape. But if i import a file from inkscape to DXF, everything is exact at scale.
Is there a trick for onshaoe?
Greeting,

When exporting a DXF from Onshape, ensure that you set the correct export scale. Check the units in your Onshape document (e.g., millimeters or inches) and confirm that the laser cutter's CAD program matches those units. If needed, adjust the scale settings during the export process to ensure the dimensions are accurate.
