Have been struggling with this. Designer 3.102. Board in computer is ENTERED as 9.4" Length x 14" width - the image just fits the board - BUT the board DISPLAYS on the computer as 14" length x 9.4" width (The art is prox 9.5 x 14 (portrait) and is rotated 90 deg cw to fit on the board).
The art is vectors and was developed from an imported tracing image - copied - pasted to new board. The board I want to carve to is prox 24" length by 9.5" width. The CW wants to scale down from 14" width to 9.4". How do I get this fixed?

Attach the DXF file. I can rotate it and resize it for you in Corel Draw. You can also rotate it in the DXF importer.

Thanks Steve, Do not have DXF drawing. JPG import was converted to vectors in designer. The only vector drawing is what I've got here.

Give this a shot. Maybe not as accurate of a trace as yours but close..

Floyd, what did you do? Looks great. Whats the best way to resize it to 9.4" width to fit my 9.5" board?

Floyd, got it to resize OK. Thanks will carve it tomorrow. Still want to know how you did it. I have lots more of those I want to do.

I took a screen shot of your mpc and did a rotate of the image and did a trace of it and exported it as a dxf for designer. One thing to remember is you can rotate the dxf file in dxf importer when bringing it into designer.

Thanks to Steve and Floyd. Will get this carved today. Have to look into the software to do the tracing and get the DXF Importer. THANKS
