Topic: XYZware something is off

Just to test my printer I made a simple box using AutoCAD thats is 40mmx40mmx20mm, I imported the object into XYZware and it tells me that my object is too small and its stating that the object is 4mmx4mmx2mm??? WTF???

Seems like their support page is offline too hmm

Re: XYZware something is off

It does sound like a scale issue. Have you got scale 1:1 within AutoCAD?

Also you can re-scale within XYZware. Just change X to 40 and the the Y and Z should fall into place.

Cheers
Greg.
