    I'm not familiar with Aspire but have you used the correct post processor for Mach3?
    Cheers,

    Default Metric/Imperial setup

    It sounds to me that you may have the drawing done in either metric or imperial units and your machine is set for the opposite. I think you need either a G21 or G20 at the start of your GCode to set the correct units.

    please post the first 20 or so lines of your code. Without seeing what code you are feeding your machine it will be impossible for us to help you.
