Inkscape to Sheet cam
I'm having trouble with scaling when I bring a drawing out of ink scape into sheet cam. The dimentions on ink scape are in inches and the correct size but when I bring it into sheet cam at a scale of 25.4 it comes in huge. I've got close scaling it at .285 but not exact. Does anyone else have this problem??

Re: Inkscape to Sheet cam
Scaling by 25.4 is the formula to convert inches to millimeters.
You should be able to just select inches as the input scale in sheetcam.
If both inkscape and sheetcam are set to inches then there will be no scaling on import to sheetcam, which I think is what you want.
