Winghelper import to Deepnest

[stephensackro]

When I try and import a DXF file containing wing ribs into Deepnest it doesn't import the ribs in the correct size. An example: actual rib = 13.5 inches, as shown in Deepnest 4.9 inches. Anyone know what might cause this?

the ratio 13.5" / 4.9" is almost the ratio : 1" / 1 cm

could this be the problem ?

Yes, it is a scaling issue. The SVG scaling default setting in the program is 72 for Illustrator and 90 for Inkscape. I played around with the setting and if I set it to 26.1, the sizing was correct. There are still some odd things that it does but at least now the sizing is ok. Thanks for your help.

I import them into CAD and it comes in perfect scale. I tend to work in the metric space for anything CAD.
