    Default Machine Simulation

    Hi,

    I have created machine sim for my horizontal milling machine and its working.
    However, when I run simulation the machine is very small. A part 10"x10"x10" is gigantic compere to the machsim.
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong,

    Your machine not the correct scale .If its drawing in inches it needs to be drawn in millimeters.

    How do I switch do mm?
    Do I have to rebuild the machsim from beginning?

    if the models for the kinematics were mad in inch and you want them to be in Metric. open them up and scale them by 25.4.
