General Mach Discussion / Re: Text centering
« on: August 27, 2012, 03:35:25 AM »
There are many options but the method I prefer is to set the datum (X, Y Zero) at the centre of the created text then locate the centre of the work and zero the machine at this point. As you have discovered, the engrave wizard is not so good for this but there is a free engraving software "F-Engrave" http://home.comcast.net/~sskroch/Fengrave/fengrave.html which is almost, if not perfect for this task.
