Hi Brian,
How did the snowmobile outing go?
My cake was Soooo Gooood
Chocolate sponge with black cherry Jam (jelly?) mixed with cherry brandy as a filling.
Anyway serious stuff...
I replaced mcFPanel.lua in C:\Mach4Hobby\Modules\AddOns\FontEngraving with the module you gave me to download.
Started Mach4 and selected Simulation Device as the motion Device as I'm not at my CNC at the moment.
Restarted Mach4
I did not bother with zeroing the machine etc.
Opened "Select Wizard\FontEngrave"
Don't change anything, just hit "Save and load"
Point to a save file to save it in
this is the start of the Gcode that was loaded...
(Font Engraving)
G90 G80 G49 G55
G0 X0 Y0
S10000 M3
G00 Z1.0000 M8
X-39.5300 Y55.0150
Z0.2500
Close the Gcode file
Just repeat the above procedure to get this Gcode.
(Font Engraving)
G90 G80 G49 G55
G0 X0 Y0
S10000 M3
G00 Z1.0000 M8
X286.7100 Y55.0150
Z0.2500
The difference in the first X position is 326.24.
My soft X limit is 320 so the second shot at engraving is almost in the same position just one bed size over.
I'm not in any kind of rush to get this resolved so enjoy whatever is left of your weekend with the kids. :-)
Thanks for the support over a weekend!

P.S.
I tried to attach some cake for you but it made a mess on my computer keyboard when I tried to push it in :-(

P.P.S.
Should have said that the two lua files are the same size ((443,511 bytes)
