When I am putting something on the layout board it looks like it takes up the whole board but when I got to carve it it comes out small is there a way to tell the actual size of what I put on?

You're likely scaling the project because you're telling the machine to stay under the rollers. Search the4 "7" rule".

when you click on the pattern it will give you the dimensions at the top of the screen.

I figured it out, I was looking at the yellow numbers thinking that was the size, the actual size shows up at the bottom left hand corner DUH :D
