Hello, I have AutoCAD LT and created a new template this week, but I'm having an issue when saving .dxf files to be sent to our laser cutter. 

 

When the drawings are converted from inches to mm and saved, they are over 2000 KB, and the drawings do not appear on the laser computer. Our usual file size after converting and saving is around 200 KB. 

 

I am able to save the same drawings in our previous templates and send them to the laser, no problem.

I have done PURGE, AUDIT, and selected all to make sure there are no unaccounted-for objects. All the save and plot settings under OPTIONS match up with the template that saves the .dxf correctly. 

 

What am I overlooking? An issue that occurs when adjusting the DWGUNITS? A preference for saving formatting?

Hard to say without a drawing to look at.

 

Most likely something to do with going from inches to mm, what is the process for doing the conversion?
