I am using SketchUp Pro to try export a DXF file to exact scale. It should be 2462mm wide by 1220mm in height.
However, as illustrated below, the dimensions are showing as 4420.6795mm wide by 2093.8357mm in height. Considerably enlarged. I have also ticked the full scale (1:1) option.
So, I was hoping someone could kindly point me in the right direction to have it exported correctly?
When I click options during export the dimensions for drawing scale and size are not the correct 2642mm by 1220mm.
Opening the dxf back up in illustrator sizing looks correct. However, importing the dxf into my TPAeditor for the CNC machine the dimensions are wrong and and match those shown in the drawing scale and size section
Iām confused. Arenāt the width and height shown in the export options the dimensions of the drawing page (i.e. the SketchUp view), not of any particular object in the model itself?
I checked, and indeed those are the height and width of the current view window expressed in model units. If you uncheck āfull scaleā, you can enter a value into one of them to determine the model units size of the view for export (the second one will be automatically calculated based on the aspect ratio of the view - this is not a way to alter that ratio). And, as I noted before, these are the size of the window, not the size or scale of any particular object in the model itself.
And, like @eneroth3 I wonder where you got those numbers. Tape measure tool gets 2361.4560 x 1211.1065 as the corner to corner dimensions when I open the skp you provided.
