Logo on pin?

[JLCues]

Hey guys, the way I put my logo on my butt cap is to switch the A and Y axis on the controller. Can't remember who told me to do this but it works just fine, but I do remember they told me that when switching the axis's (??) it would come out a little different size than if I were to cut it on a flat surface. I am trying to do the logo on a pin and the height comes out the same (x axis) but the length comes out way short. Flat it is about .180 x .320 and on the pin it came out .180 x .115. I remember seeing a spot to swap axis's with in Bob-Cad but can't seem to find it now and I think that was in version 17 anyway. I am now using version 20. I tried messing with the drawing to just make the drawing same height but longer and had no luck. Any suggestions?

On my software, which is not Bob-Cad, when I convert the axis from Y to C or in your software, apparently, Y to A, I need to put in the radius of what I'm engraving on so that the perspective between height and width stays correct.

In Bobcad it is a translation between whatever and a
