But if I change the Default Units, those page sizes remain the same. So for example, in Document Properties > Page tab > Format > Page Size, some page sizes are given in mm, some are given in inches, and a couple in px. So IF there's a grid involved, you might try changing it to mm units, and probably cross your fingers while you do itĪnd the other thought - even if I change the default units to something besides px, I notice that the page size units do not change. Since DXF is a Desktop Cutting Plotter, I wonder if your file uses a grid? I've noticed that even if I change the default units to something besides px, grids are still displayed in px, apparently by default. My next suggestion was going to be changing the default units in Document Properties, but sounds like you already tried it, with no luck There have been frequent postings about various aspects of DXF, but I'm sorry to say, not this specifically (that I remember).

I might also mention that this is the first time I have seen this question asked in these forums, ever, which leads me to think it may be a matter of days before someone who happens to know the answer, happens to visit the forum. Since now you have said that checking or unchecking the box apparently makes no difference, I hope that someone else will know more about it than I do (which is next to nothing, after all), and will be able to give some more helpful advice. (or vice versa) Of course I have no idea what might be applied instead of mm, because I'm just making a somewhat educated guess.Īnd I think microUgly's point is that others might be waiting for you to reply whether you had tried it each way (with and without checking the box), and what your results were, before joining the discussion. My reasoning is that maybe if the box is NOT checked, then mm would not be applied. My thought (and I have no idea whether it's valid just guessing based on evidence at hand, along with my own particular skill level) was that checking the box enables this ROBO-Master, which would apply the assumptions in the Help tab. Hhm, I guess I wasn't clear enough in my original reply.
