General Mach Discussion / X0Y0 Jumping?

« on: February 15, 2010, 10:45:49 PM »

Howzit Guys...
Please help...
I'm engraving with  Mach3 Mill and my fonts seem move or lose the X0Y0 position.
There is no z axis feed in the g code, meaning always G1 Z0.000 and I manually feed down .002" and repeat thesame simple font G-code cycle again.
The first few times is O.K., but, soon after, it engraves the fonts as if from another reference point.
I engraved others and never had this problem before.
The piece is secure..
Thanks for viewing..

LazyCam (Beta) / Single line fonts

« on: February 02, 2009, 01:13:17 PM »

Howzit Guys,
 Please help me.
1.    I'm using the LayCAM text for a project in LazyCAM MILL.
 All the font's letters are outlined letters (Double line).
 Is there a tool to change that to single line letters for all the fonts?


2.   I went to that site where they offer free downloads of fonts.
What file do I downloaded to and how can I get to those fonts
when using the LazyCAM MILL - TEXT as another option to use
besides the fonts offered in that Text tool?

Thanks...
