Hello
I set up the steps per mm all perfect and when I move the machine 100 mm it moves 100 mm exactly and when I draw dxf and mill it by the machine it does it exactly. But when I import plt files with the same settings in KCam it becomes very small in KCam.
I am sure the table setup is perfect because it works fine with the jogging and with the dxf files, so why is this problem being with plt files?
Thanks in advance.

I guess I would have to say that you have to make your working in MM in both programs.
Most the time when that happens your machine is in MM and corel draw is outputting in inches. change unit in corel to match machine and also while saving in plt format make sure it isn't changing units while saving.

Thanks friend but it is in mm in both Corel and KCam.

ok as you start to save a plt file in corel draw a popup opens up and in the advanced options you still have the ability to change from inches to mm. I guess if i were checking everything I would check all options as i was saving in case even though you were working in mm the options at the time of saving may be in inches. I work with corel draw alot but I bring it into deskcnc -the cam part of it and even though I work in inchs I have to scale it down "alot" because it apparently is loaded in mm. with just kcam you don't have that step to make any adjustments.--I guess just something else to check.
