I bought template plans for a woodworking project and they included a DXF file of the plans. I tried to load the DXF file into Inkscape but it throws an error each time and will not show the templates. My attempt to load the file into CC was successful but the scale is all wrong and I cant added a 1" square to the template in order to scale the project to the correct size… The template is copyright protected so I cannot post it on this forum. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for me to remedy this problem…after reading it seems that CC scales down files that will not fit inside the “cut area” and since this file includes every template it is much larger than the 31x31" area.
I usually am able to fix DXFs by loading them into LibreCAD:
then immediately exporting to a “MakerCAM SVG”

I fixed the problem by loading the fullsize pdf file into inkscape and then saving it as an SVG and then loading that file into CC. Worked perfectly! Thanks for the tip on the LibreCAD I will look into that for future troubleshooting.
