I've been designing in sketchup for closed to a year now so am quite familiar with the program. I followed all the steps to export my design in to inkscape as an svg and it seems to work until I import the svg in to the P2 template and it comes out way too small. I would think it would import same size as it was in sketchup or I would hope it would since I went to great lengths to put accurate measurements and line spacings in it. Based on your tutorial I shouldn't have to scale it to fit the Ponoko template. The design in Sketchup was done in inches so I figured that I should try exporting as inches but when I do the design comes out really funny with the line widths way bigger then they should be. I even tried going in to the info part of my sketchup design and changing it to decimal notation and MM to see if that helped but it didn't. Any suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated

This will be invaluable when it comes to designing stuff for Ponoko. I was planning on making some lampshades and stuff.. quite simple designs but this would make them even simpler... and I have the advantage that I already have Adobe Illustrator (work gave it to me - which is a good thing because I never really got on well with inkscape).
