ArtCam Insignia Version 3.0
Hi,
Last week I was trying to help out a friend of mine that own's a sign shop.
We had a sign to make that had .250 raised letters that were cut into a boxed area.
I used a .500 bit to do a clearance cut and also listed other tools like a .250 and .125 and a .0625 to triming the excess around the letters that the larger bit did not cut.
The first tool .500 seemed to cut fine. The second tool .250 cut over the line (Profile) in certain spots like it plunged down centering the line instead of cutting on the outside. i.e. like a O that was perfect except for a little notch that the tool made when it plunged into the letter. After that it cut as normal. On the vertical cut on the T's it also undercut certain areas. On the U's it cut the right upright too thin. Other letters seemed to cut fine. I looked at the tools paths and they are plotted to cut on the correct side of the line.
I sent the file to ARTCAM and they looked at it along with the imported DXF file and it looked fine to them. They even gave me a new Spooler for my friends Gerber 200 Router. I will probably take a picture of the incorrectly cut sign and send it to them.
It almost seems to be some type of a software issue with ARTCAM Version 3.0 for the Insignia product. I may need to reload it as it may have been corrupted.
Has anyone else here had any issues with that version. I realize they have newer versions that may have more features but this version is adequate for his present needs.
Any ideas??? All suggestions and help would be appreciated.
John
