Scaling issue when exporting the geometry into DXF format

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am trying to export my COMSOL geometry into a form that I can use in adobe photoshop to customize the resolution as I will be using an inkjet printer to print it.

Currently, what I am doing is exporting the 2D geometry into a DXF file, then I convert the DXF file into a photoshop file (.psd) using this website:https://www.aconvert.com/image/dxf-to-psd/ After that, I set the resolution in adobe photoshop and I save it as a BMP image which can be read in the inkjet printer software.

However, my issue is that I get a much larger image than I designed (like 4 meters long !). I figured out that the issue rises when I export to DXF file. It doesn't convert using 1:1 ratio.. How can I fix this ?

Regards Hanadi
