scaling issues during engraving

Hi,
I recently built my CNC and started playing around with Linux CNC. I am able to import EagleCad gerber file using the tools available at this link
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Converting_Tools

However, when I engrave the part, the size on y Axis is halved! example: if I am engraving a 8cmx8cm board, the Y axis turns out to be 4cm and the board is scaled in a weird way. Is this a Scale setting issue in my INI file?

I just realized that my CNC setup is a gantry(I am using gantrykins, with axis 2 and 4 in joint mode: these correspond to the 2 Y axis on the machine). Should I double the scale setting in the INI file for these axes? Does the scale factor get halved when operating in this way? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am a noob in this area.

If anyone has any suggestions, Please let me know.

Thanks,

Rakesh

Is you scaling off all the time, or only when you are running the converted Eaglefiles?
When you command a move of a specific measurement, does it move that distance? Such as an MDI command G0X10, or G0Y10.

Thanks Todd and Andy. I tried Todd's suggestions and tried the G0 commands before any INI file changes. I was able to reproduce the halving of the movement on one of the Axis. I changed the INI file and doubled the scale values for the two Y axes. This produced equal movements on both X & Y. So this seems to have solved the issue.
