Hi There,

I created a circle with a 4 inch radius on CARBIDE CREATE and when I loaded the file into CARBIDE MOTION, it cut at almost half the size. The final piece was almost 4 inches in diameter. – Can someone please help me fix this problem :slight_smile:

Thank you,

Salim

Hi Salimm,

Before we check anything else, let’s make sure your controller settings are correct.

Follow these instructions to reset the settings to default.

That will probably clear up the problem.

Now that you’re in the ballpark, you may want to look at refining the sizing:

Hi Edward,

I am having a similar situation to Salimm, but I can not access your linked instructions. Could you repost them?

Thanks,
Mary
