    Default Mach3 Scaling Help

    Hi, on the right of the DRO in Mach3 the scale buttons increase the size of the work to be cut. Is there any way to reduce the size using these buttons?

    Use numbers less than 1.
    A Scale of 0.5 will make the part 1/2 size.

    And if you enter negative values, it will mirror the part along that axis.
