Hi! having a weird problem. making some leather bracelets and I size them carefully in inkscape and save them to be about 7 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. well, when I pull the file into the glowforge interface they come up at almost 10 inches, and I have to resize them by eyeballing it. never had this problem before. what is going on?

Take the file, copy it and paste it into a 20" x 12" artboard. Save that file and it should correct the sizing issues. When you design or create a file for use in the Glowforge, always put it on a 20" x 12" artboard. (The size of the bed.) It’s a workaround for DPI related sizing issues in the various programs that people use.
