I am having trouble saving SVG file from inkscape and loading into Makercam. When i open the file in makercam it is 25% bigger than it should be. I have used the measure tool in inkscape to verify it is the right size. Any suggestions?

Did you set the import resolution to 96 in the preferences?  
(do to trust the “recommended” 90, as that is a very old value and was not corrected in Makercam)
