    Re: size of a job

    Hi,

    I use CAMBAM to generate my gcode for all projects. CAMBAM will allow you to open gcode files and has a measurement tool which will allow you to measure the project extents. It will also allow you to scale a project and edit. It is a very useful program. I have the full package, but a free version is available to try and test.
