Hi all,
maybe there is nothing wrong with it but I noticed when I import an stl file, the first screen give me dimension that are inline with the actual pattern I designed but when I insert it on a board the dimensions are about 0.020" + in both x, y larger then the original. In most cases it shouldn't matter I guess but when the pattern is a part needed for an assembly, it needs to be "exact" within the limits of the machine of course.
Anyone as noticed something like that? Will it machine to what designer reports or to the original dimensions?
Thanks,
Felix
