RayCam 1.2 DXF import problem

Hi,
When I import a DXF file into RayCam 1.2 it appears 10% of it's correct size, so an objet that is say 150 mm on the X axis is only 15mm wide.
Brand new insatll of RayCam to go with X7 DSP controller just installed to replace 6515 setup.
Thanks,
Chris

I don't know RayCam (yet) but it sounds to me like the DXF-file is written in centimeters and imported in RayCam as (the default) millimeters.
Check the program that creates your DXF if you can find something about the format (Inch/MM/CM..)

Ok I will check tomorrow, the DXF file is exported from Corel Draw X6...

It seems that it depends from where the DXF file was exported:
Adobe Illustrator - correct scaling
Corel Draw - 10% of full size
p.s. the reason I am using RayCam in the first place is that LaserCad wouldn't talk via USB to my new (November 2016) X7 controller, RayCam worked straight off.
