HPGL and Gerber files incorrect in size.

When enumeration hpgl files in LeadTools15, when the LineDescr is returned during the enumeration ( or any object description ) , the coordinates of the returned objects are not converted in pel's or any unit of measure I can figure. IF loading an hpgl file of a simple box, ( 4000 x 4000 in size in hpgl units which is 100mm by 100mms) , the enumerator shows a size of 1,181.3349 x 1,181.3349 . So the unit of conversiona appears to be .29533725 units per pel? An HPGL unit though is always .025mm per unit, Is there any way for me to know or set what this scale is during enumeration?

I include a simple 100x100mm box file..



Thanks

In general, dimensions in our
vector toolkit do not have specific units such as mm or inch. We only load the values in correct proportions to other dimensions in the same file.

However, I will try to explain where the scaling factor came from.

When loading HPGL files, our
vector engine looks for a scale factor stored in the file, or paper size
defined in the file itself, and decides based on these values how to scale the
resulting vector objects. If neither exists as is the case with your small sample file, a default scaling factor of 3.386 is used.

My guess is that this value corresponds to:

(25.4 mm per inch)/( 0.025 mm per unit) / 300

Hi:

Thanks, that helped. All is well now..
