I can see in the svg file (via notepad) that the viewbox is set to the size of the build plate (223 x 223)
width="223px" height="223px" viewBox="0 0 223 223"
So all I can assume is that the svg toolpath reader plugin is somehow reading 223 not as 223mm but as another unit or has some conversion factor? or something I dont understand about svg files is dictating the size.
@ghostkeeper can you help me out here please?

Well the error is hopefully EXACTLY 25.4X and if you click on the part and set the scale tool to 2540% and that gets it close then it's probably exactly that. Also often it is off by EXACTLY 10x. So try those 2 scales and hopefully that will explain a lot. If it's too small by 25.4 then illustrator is probably switching to inches at the last second when it saves the file. If it is off by 10X then illustrator is probably switching to cm at the last second when it saves the file.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I cant manually scale the toolpath in cura. There is no option to do that. The scale looks to be about 20% too small. Weird. All I can do is make it too big to start with but I have no way of knowing by how much!
