Plywood 3mm Perfect Fit Scaling Tool! 2.0

How to Scale in xTool Creative Space (XCS) 🛠️

Since XCS doesn't have a dedicated "Percentage" button, here is the easiest way to scale your project using the scale factor from the tester:

Select ALL elements of your project (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A).

Ensure the "Lock" icon (Aspect Ratio) between Width (W) and Height (H) is closed/locked.

Use your calculator: Take the current Width (W) of your project and multiply it by your percentage (in decimal form).

Example: If your current Width is 200mm and your test result was 103.33%:

200×1.0333=206.66

Type the new value into the Width field in XCS and hit Enter.

Quick Reference:

93.33% → Multiply by 0.9333

96.67% → Multiply by 0.9667

103.33% → Multiply by 1.0333

106.67% → Multiply by 1.0667

Done! Your entire project is now perfectly scaled for your material.

Step 1: Open xTool Creative Space

Launch the xTool Creative Space software on your computer.

Make sure your laser cutter (e.g., xTool D1) is connected via USB or Wi-Fi.

Step 2: Start a New Project

Step 3: Import Your File

Click on the “Image” or “Import” icon in the left toolbar (looks like a picture or file).

Alternatively, use the top menu:

Browse to your file location and select your laser cut file (e.g., .svg, .dxf, .xcs).

Step 4: Position the Design

After the file loads, you'll see your design on the canvas.

Drag to position, rotate, or scale the design as needed.

Use the grid and workspace size to match your material size.

Step 5: Set Process Settings

Select each layer in your file.

Choose the appropriate action:

Cut, Engrave, 

Use presets or manual settings based on your material.

Step 6: Frame the Design (Optional but Recommended)

Click “Framing” to make sure your design fits the material on the laser bed.
