I'm sure Jeff is real busy, so until if and when he has a chance to get the "Life size" feature working again, does anyone have any tips on how to scale a scan to 100%?
I was and am still told by Carveright Tech support that the probe scans full scale, but it doesn't. This was the whole reason the machine was purchased, and now that 1.120/1 is no longer supported, I'm dead in the water.
I read a post in the probe area, but it did not really provide a good answer.
Hope this the right forum to post this.
Any ideas and thoughts sure would be a great deal of help.
Guess I don't understand the reason the scans are undersized.
Thanks!

Steve

If you scanned on best quality enlarge the pattern by 1.28 in Designer and it will be back to full size. Since the X and Y size boxes are locked by default in Designer just take the X measurement given multiply by 1.28, type that into the X box and Y will change in the same proportion.

Thanks Jeff!
Didn't think it would be that simple!
Do you still plan to work on your program?
