Title: Text engraving wizard save
Post by: chuckels on March 11, 2006, 07:19:34 PM

Can any one help,
when I use the text engrave wizard it works fine in the current session but if I save the g-code with a file name and restart Mach 3 at a later time and reload the code it displays some of the text with large circles or swirls and tries to cut that path. this happens with Helvetica font ( which is one of the only single line fonts in it ) or any font that has smooth curves.
is it possible that something  is not being saved with the code that is set when the wizard is first run?

I just signed up, searched for and answer to my introduction posting and found this on my first search WOW.
I solved th problem by changing from Absolute to Incremental.
