I have just a simple flat design with a couple of circles, and it is sized correctly as an SVG, shows up in inkscape as the right size, but when I export it as a DXF from inkscape the DXF is huge in shapr3D i tried both inches and MM import, seems like the same problem…

any ideas? what’s wrong or i am doing wrong?

Hi, the problem may be around the DPI settings of the SVG. Could you please upload the SVG and the DXF here, or send us attached to a [support ticket](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)?

I also tried to import a sketch DXF and it does not show up or import it’s like missing, then I tried Sketchup as a 2d dxf, and that showed up but weird…

My SVG is a modified version of the same thing…
