    new 80watt - won't engrave in RDworks v8

    HELP. I have a new 80w CO2 Chinese laser. I put a simple text file in RDworks v8 and upload it to the controller/ The output is just a solid burned line no matter the power or speed settings. When I change the file from "Scan" to "Cut" it does burn the text but connects all of the letters together with a burned line. I really think this is a setting problem of some kind, but I have tried everything.

    Frustrated in East Texas

    Normally you use a bitmap file for engraving. Are you importing a .txt file?

    The file is just a simple text file in RDWorks that is uploaded directly into the controller.

    This file is .rd for mskaggs67 (not for you) to he can put it directly on USB stick and cut/engrave. This way he can check and confirm his machine is ok (if cut/engrave this file properly).
