Make sure you are using Inkscape version .91. For some reason the transfer from the newest .92 version to the tablet is corrupt.

Also, make sure on the “Preferences” Tab of the PathToGcode window, that the Measurements are in MM, not INCHES. Always leave it in MM.
You can change the Measurement for your Design if you want to work with INCHES by going to:
File->Document Properties
Don’t change any values in the Preferences Tab of PathToGcode other than what Directory and File Name you want.
InkScape doesn’t save whether you selected INCHES over MM on the Preferences Tab, so it will treat all measurements as MM. That will make your Design 25.4 times smaller in size than you want if you selected INCHES.

Yes..That is how I have mine set up..MM in inkscape Preference under Path to Gcode...and in inkscape under Document Properties it in inches.. but file aways too small when pulled into Tablet.. Kinda a pain to have to change size in Tablet..sometimes it changes back... after I have set it right.
