Imperial Files open in Metric

So I have noticed when I download a file from lets say Etsy and I open it, the file is always in metric and incredibly small. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

Using what version of Carbide Create? If not current, please update.

What file format?

Upload a screen grab?

Can you share your DXF file?

I’ve never given much thought to unit conversion. Vector graphics scale seamlessly to any size. So if I import an english part and it comes in metric it’s going to be very small. Just scale it up 25.4:1 and you’re good to go. Or whatever scale fits the stock you wan to cut. I’m more concerned with the quality of the curves than the size.
