Would it be an idea to export as pdf?

Woke up this morning thinking maybe my preferences got reset last month when I tried to install the newer version of Inkscape on my mac. Didn’t work, so I restored the old version. Checked my settings and they are at 96 dpi. I thought that was the correct setting for interpretation by the GFUI - also for pulling in ai exported files. When I pull your file directly into the GFUI, it does read correctly at 10" sq for the bowl part. I then set the dpi to 72 and opened a fresh copy of your file. The bowl still reads at 8" sq. Moral of the story is - pull your files directly into the GFUI, bypassing Inkscape!

I saved it as a pdf. See if that makes a difference. If it works I will save as both in the future.

Success!!! Opened a new GF template file in Inkscape, imported the new pdf file and the square bowl reads 10" sq! That will do the trick for me and I suspect a lot of other people. Thanks for experimenting that with me. I’ll print one later, running another job right now.

Glad it worked out! This is how we learn. I will now post pdfs.

The cherry version! This will be for a friend who has a lot of cherry wood in his house, including Shaker furniture. It will fit in perfectly! Thanks again for the great design - my husband was marveling at it too - and for producing the pdf. I see you’re pdfing all your previous designs - did I say you’re awesome?!!!

Thank you so much for the design. Very kind of you! Very cool that it is dual purpose.

That you so much! Don’t forget to run 2 additional square leg attachments. I couldn’t get it all to fit on one board.
