I am trying to use Freecad to create a dxf file that i can open in sheetcam. I design the part in the part design workbench then export it as a dxf. I have also tried doing a flattened dxf. When i open it in sheetcam the scale is way off. How can i correct this?
It’s probably just a unit of measurement issue. If your default units in Freecad are millimeters and you are importing as inches in Sheetcam, the part will be 25.4 times larger.
I do all of my work in millimeters and haven’t had this issue. I have had to change the import units in Sheetcam when importing files that I didn’t create.
Is your file too large when you import it or too small?

it may not be with freecad but when you import a dxf into sheetcam you get the option of the scale…
