Drawing Size and Cut Size Differ - Plasma

permalink

I Draw a DXF square 100mm x 100mm in my design software, then import the DXF into Lazycam, the scale on the top right (in lazycam) says 2,23units, however when i click on the layer, the layer information displays the 100mm X 100mm, then i import to Mach3, and the cut is tiny... i cant seem to get my machine to cut the correct size,

i have run the "set Steps Per" function and that moves 100mm when i tell it to... so it seems correct on that side..

I just cant fix this!, any comments.. please
