OK, when I draw up what I want engraved and then tell Cambam to write up G-Code, it saves the file, but then when I open it in Mach 3 it shows a HUGE spiral around what I want engraved. I know it's something small as it doesn't do this EVERY time but I can't figure out what I'm writing up wrong here. Any ideas?

Crop Circles perhaps.
Under Config / General Config change the IJ Mode and click OK.

Write wizard. Is it possible to write more than a single line. If not, is a program available that will permit 3 or more lines of test to be engraved? Thank you.

Hi roviyach,
Welcome to the forum.
One line at a time only with the write wizard.
There are many free programs around that will compile the code for 3 or more lines, try an internet search.
This free program may work OK http://www.ncplot.com/stickfont/stickfont.htm

Tweakie,
Thanks very much. I really appreciate it. The program you suggested looks like it will do all I need, and free besides. I'm truly a newbie an this forum is great. Thanks again.
