Hi

First off I amtrying to create a create an acurate scan of a flexible keyboard and create a custom computer keyboard from it.

Basically I am trying to create proper keys for the TAB, SPACE, ESC, ALT, CNTRL, (QWERTY KEYS).

I want to SCAN the image in from a scanner and just draw boxes around it in Adobe Illustrator and have the CNC go cut the right sizes out, but when ever I try to scan I can never scan it to the proper scale of the actual item, its always huge and really high res ( i tried lowering it).

How can I scan a image to scale (scale meaning the size of it in reallife). A 0.5x0.5 " key would scan to like 3"x3" Frown
