Metric conversion problem with DXF?

Post by Jeremy Schiffer »

I'm attaching a DXF file that has a POCKET layer with some circles on it. The dimensions are in metric. When I attempt to nest it in CN, each of the circles appears huge, and my guess is they're 25.4 times the diameter that they should be. The outline layer is the correct size in CN. There are also two CHAIN layers, so I tried moving the circles off of the pocket layer onto the chain layer, and it seems to nest fine.

So, what I'm thinking here is that there's an imperial-to-metric conversion that should be taking place in CN for the pocket layer that isn't taking place. If so, it's a bug in CN. If not, then I've messed up somewhere. (That NEVER happens. :roll: )

Could someone confirm this for me? Thanks!

(rename .txt to .dxf, as usual!)
