If your native units are set to inches, make sure your steps/unit are set correctly, and make sure you're using an inch post processor in Aspire.
Draw a simple square box in Aspire, and see if the g-code is the correct size.
New to CNC Mach3 issues
Hello new to the CNC Environemnt. Having issues with Mach 3 that when I load a Gcode file it is not showing the correct size or cutting the correct size. Or it shows up way outside the table display.
I have tried setting it for Inches and when it was showing up or cutting real small I thought maybe it was because I had it set to MM but tried both ways and still is not coming out right. I have tried Gcode inches and Gcode mm. did not work Tried using the Mach3 2/3 arc is saw someone mention in a thread while I was looking around and nothing. Any ideas? Driving me crazy. I have been trying just to carve a simple Capital S just to get it to size right but it is not working. I have also tried ArtCAM and Aspire and neither seems to be working. I attached the file I just tried using and it showing up really really small on the screen. My Native units is set to inches. In ArtCam My artwork is set to 5" x 5". Not sure if there is any other info needed. Thanks for any and all help.
