    Importing issues with scaling

    Another issue has shown up with our Starcam. When I import a .plt file, the scale is completely screwed up. Lcam had a function in the parameters to set the scaling of imports. I havent managed to find this in starcam. Is this function hiding somewhere in Starcam or do I have to calculate the scale manually of every file I import?

    High CPU usage

    The next issue today is the Starcam stops responding on a regular basis. The PC is a 2.5GHZ celeron with 512mb ram. With all applications closed, the CPU usage is around 2%, as soonas I open the spooler, it shoots up to around 55% without any other programs Is this normal?
    Just with Starcam running and no Spooler, the CPU runs around 4%. Thisis until I tried to change the cut direction, then it went stright to 100%. This happens every time and the program requires rebooting.

    Ive UPLOADED new versions of StarCAm and StarCNC. I added the Zoom Table command and you can now set the HPGL import scale in the Configuration settings.

    The Spooler uses a bit of cpu power, but that seems alot. Send me the file that is crashing starcam when you change directions. Ive improved that in the latest version.
