Sam,
Unless I'm missing something as i never scale i draw to full size in a CAD package and import into Dolphin but once you go into CAD you can define your 0,0 point anywhere there is an entity...
Ramping doesn't work as you would think it does in Dolphin.
I have spoken to Andre about this and he knows my views
Just run a file the same sizes as you say.

Bump, seeing as it's been moved to the right forum.
Can your laser work to these tolerances ?
Got a problem in this program.
I have a file with 4 paths on it and 4 colours.

Well 2 actually.
[1] When I come to put any text on an object the default is Tacoma at 100mm high, change that to what i want OK but next line defaults to Tacoma at 100mm high again.
Anyone know a...
Dave, post the dra and cnc files
I found and deleted the double radius and even drew a new line to join at the bottom but it still barfed out. Increased the gap tolerance and it still didn't work.
Didn't find two lines, only two...
Vector, out of interest what have you moved onto ?
I also thought that V11 was more an upgrade than a new version.
It's two main claims to fame was different licensing which isn't the users...
Never use the CAD side, find it very clunky.
Plenty of cheap / free / good / quick CAD programs out there that are designed for drawing, you have come across a classic with the very limited trim...
I saved your original file as a dxf and ran it in vcarve pro and it worked fine but wouldn't work when brought back into Dolphin.
So it's got something to do with how dolphin reacts with the file.

No idea what is wrong with it.
There are two curves before the line at the botton and it seems some entities are on one layer and some on another.
cleaned the profile up and put it back into CAM...
As Rodney says raster cutting is way too slow, these gauges were vector cut 20mm/s speed and 95% power so not that slow.
I cut a mask to hold 24 out of 1mm card and just pop 24 in the slots and go...
This is diamond drag engraving on stainless steel.

The circle is 50mm diameter as a guide on size.

I run at 200mm/ sec raster but think it can go up to 300, possibly 400
Not got much off this machine as regards photo's, most was of the older 40W machine as i was learning.
This is a concept...
Yes I have one of these, looks identical and I'm very pleased with it.
I'm in the Uk and bought a 40W laser from a UK source to get support, wasn't pleased with this laser and returned it.

In Laserworks 6 the default text is Tahoma and 100mm high.
I have to change this for every line of text i do.
Is there a way to change the default please.
Has anyone tried using just powder coating powder on metal with no air assist.
wondering if it could be a cheap way to do non-ferrous metals like alloy and brass ?
I know you can use cermark but...

Neil,
Think it got covered in this thread.

Personally I feel it's not enough for a paid upgrade. The main...
So what was it ?
Depends on the controller.
There should be some setting to make the controller aware of the diameter of the work and that will link the two axis together.
In mach3 it's on the settings page.

Rodney,
What is new in V11 from V10 that warrants an upgrade ?
Forget the new copy control, that should have been sorted in V10 and forget the IGES import as what good is importing files it cannot...
Interesting point.
Technically you should not sell your old versions as in most cases the newer versions are upgrades, not outright buys, therefore the earlier version is part payment to the later...
Funny question to ask any company.
Did you ask at Woolworth's last time you bought anything, like hey mate how goods the one year guarantee on this widjit only to find out they had gone bump later....
Elmor,

If the command in Bobcad is G0 or G00 [ both the same ] then the setting lies in Mach.
