I created a DXF file that we would use to water jet cut a panel and then a separate file to laser etch some text to the panel. The cut file for the panel stayed dimensionally correct (1.07 x 1.02) but the file for the laser etching would change the height only (from 1.02 to .98). Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to keep this from happening in the future?

I do this process all the time but this is the first file with so much text information. I am guessing that there is so much text info that it is getting confused somehow. Attached are some PDF images of the files once they are converted to DXF.
