Hi there,

I'm not an PCB layout expert. This is my third time using
Orcad PCB Editor 15.5. Previous occasions things were setup for me, such as the layers, sheet size, etc.

With that said, I'm having problems generating Artwork for my 1 layer board. The top etch layer is not coming out properly for my dimensions from Orcad to the art file.

My small board is 30mm x 15mm. Line width is 1mm.

After generating the artwork without any warnings or errors my board comes out as 770mm x 390mm (Viewmate 10.0). Line width is 0.01mm, and I can even find my pins/pads.

I have been tinkering with the settings in the Artwork GUI, but no luck. Changing the scaling factor does not have an impact. I've tried 10x to 0.01x on the scaling.
Kind of baffled and stuck.

Anyone got ideas/advice for me?

Much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance!
