hi all, just downloaded the latest build... i'm playing with text in lazy cam pro ( licensed ) and i noticed that if i start it up and drag text , it is sized like 63000 by 45000 on extents. ( roughly)
and if i then select a tool,  it seems to lock up

however , if i load a dxf that i made up because there isn't any way to tell what size the letters are, then i drag some text, there is no problem. it would be nice if there was some sort of ruler for scale, i guess we can load in a dxf ruller of length and width if nessary.
what does everyone else do

Hey Dan,
When starting with a clean slate, click file, new, then you can set the size of your work area.
Have fun,
RC

most excellent, thank you.
now i need some stick fonts so i dont have to use write wizard
again, thanks

Dan,
You can also do as you were and then click SCALE and enter the X dim. This automatically fits the box to the text.
