Any suggestions on using OpenSCAD to create a SVG for importing to Carbon
Create? My issue is getting the dimensions that I expect. When I use
OpenSCAD print with Cura my metric dimensions are correct. When I mill my
creation with Carbon Create/Motion it is a factor of 2.85x smaller than
expected.

Which version of OpenSCAD are you using?

The latest snapshot outputs SVGs in mm but I think earlier versions missed
out the units and probably defaulted to px.

Use a newer version, as it was only fixed last year (2016), see:
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1253

Alternatively, you can edit svg files in a text editor to add the units.
Here's a guide I wrote a little while ago, with some extra information.

With SVGs, you have to make sure that the units are specified correctly, or
you can get your design scaled to some peculiar sizes. The SVG output of
OpenSCAD doesn't include the units, so any program opening it assumes that,
rather than using mm, it's specified in pixels (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/coords.html#Units ). Both Illustrator and Qcad use
72dpi to do this conversion (a 100mm line incorrectly interpreted as pixels
rather than mm comes out 100 * 25.4 / 72 = 35.278mm), while Inkscape uses
90dpi as per the SVG spec (so a 100mm line comes out 100*25.4/90=28.222mm),
so it can seem like you end up with scaled artwork if you don't set the
units in the SVG file.

However, it's quite easy to change the units from pixels to mm. Open the SVG
output from OpenSCAD in a text editor, and change the document 'width' and
'height' in the first couple of lines from no units to mm. eg, edit:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

<title>OpenSCAD Model</title> ...

to...

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

<title>OpenSCAD Model</title> ...

This should then open the SVG the correct size in the various applications.

In inkscape 0.92 - the current one - the default for dpi has changed to
96 to meet the industry standard.
Internally units are in mm. So my extensions seem to be in 1:1 units to
mm. All my old extensions are now the wrong size :(
