    Default Anyway to resize a Gcode file or NC Contour set in DCAD or DCAM partmaster G13?

    Hi, I have a Dolphin CAD & CAM file w/ an engraving setup but it is 250" I want to rescale it down to 4" or so. Is there any resize options in Partmaster V12?

    Yes, you can either scale the geometry in CAD before you create the Contours, use Copy and Paste but before you paste, right click the mouse and set the scale to the size you want.

    In CAM if you already have the Contours etc, then use the Repeat command from the miscellaneous options toolbar, although labelled Repeat it covers a whole range of modifiers- you will find a tab - Scale - use this to adjust the scale, don't forget to adjust your tool sizes as well.

    To use the Scale option, the sequence needs to be.....

    Repeat On - selected from the misc ops toolbar

    Goround ......etc
    Area Clear ......etc.

    Repeat off - selected from the misc ops toolbar

    Then Run the job

    Hope this helps.
