I am very new to mach4 and I have most things working successfully enough to be able to cut simple parts. The only things I have changed are some button colors, I like how that works.

But... I thought I might try to use the Font Engraving Wizard, it seems easy enough to set up but when I generate the code and load it, I get the dreaded Crop Circles, I don't get or see them on other code that I have generated from my Cad-Cam program.

Why am I getting this and how can I fix it? It must be something very simple but I'll be darned if I can find the solution.

Thanks

John

P.S. I am using Window 7 32 bit with an ESS Smoothstepper #260 and Mach4 version 4517

Hallo,
sorry das ich in deutsch antworte, aber ich kann nicht gut englisch.
Vielleicht kannst du das in englisch übersetzten.

Ich denke dein Problem liegt an der einstellung vom Kreismittelpunkt.
Stelle den mal auf inkremental um, dann sollte es gehen.
Oder schreibe am Anfang vom Programm einen Satz mit G91.1,
dann ist für dieses Programm der Kreismittelpunkt inkremental.
Ich hoffe das hilft.

Hello,
sorry that i answer in German, but i don't speak English very well.
Maybe you can translate that into English.

I think your problem is the setting of the center of the circle.
Change it to Incremental, then it should work.
Or write a block with G91.1 at the beginning of the program,
then the center of the circle is Incremental for this program.
I hope it helps.
Greetings Thomas
