SVG page size issue

[dbynoe]

It appears that the SVG import will only import an SVG file that matches the asked for page size. "Note! Set page size in your SVG vector app to 1220x610mm"
I get a "backend error" when I try other sizes.

It would be nice to be able to import any size SVG much like the way DXF's are imported instead of requiring an SVG the size of the laser bed. It would also allow the loading of small files and utilization of custom offsets.

And the wording is wrong, our laser is 1200x900ish, we need to change the
aspect ratio while we are in there?

In a perfect world with lollipops and sugar plums it would ignore the offsets if the SVG was full size to the bed, ie by adding a G54 at the start of the code. Otherwise it would eat a smaller svg and print it the same as a DXF at the current offset.

The size of the preview is correct ish, the dotted line is right but the white background is still at the old size.
