What's best practice for scaling an nc file or an stl file? There's this small part for which the designer has provided an nc file and an stl file. The part is 1 inch x 1 inch and I want it 2.5 x 2.5.

The quickest way I have found is to import the stl into Tinkercad, where you can resize when it imports. Export that back out as another STL. In Fusion 360, open a mesh and select the stl. Change that into a brep and then go into CAM and do the CAM work there. Both the Fusion 360 simulator and CAMotics shows that it should work, but I haven't had the chance yet to run it on the S03.

This could be one of those things where I'm missing the obvious,
