Hey Guys,
When I export my 2D drawing from Rhino 8 to Carbide Create as a DFX it imports at a tiny scale to the point where you cannot see the drawing. When I export from Rhino as an SVG file the measurements also aren’t accurate as per the original file in Rhino 8.
Does anyone have a workflow from Drawing in Rhino 8 to Milling in the Shapeoko 5 Pro?
What file type and settings should I use when exporting my drawing from Rhino?
DXF is a unitless format, so the application you import it into must have a default units, or is making some assumption about the units when it is imported. Check the application options. Ideally it should ask you when you import what the units are for the file you are importing.
SVG not a good format to use if you have other options. Size is based on a screen or page size and references points rather than decimal measurements. You will never get a precise size based on a point system.
