I want to get a quote from bigbluesaw.com, but I don't know the measurements of my custom plate.

If you made the plate using swill's plate builder,  the dimensions are in mm.

The picture I provide is from his website. I don't see the measurements anywhere. Do I have to download the files and open them up in the program to see?

Yes, if you plan on using BigBlueSaw, I believe they require the DXF file. It will have dimensions, but no units. The units are millimeters.
