    Exclamation Issue With Text In Alphacam 2012

    How can I get alphacam to stop doing this? I designed this is alphacam for mothers day, and I keep getting these circles on the letters. These circles scale porportionally with the bit size too. currently a 1/8th inch bit.

    Are you using G41/G42? If so, try without it.

    Yes - but with only a screenshot we can see nothing.. You have to save Your file, and upload it - otherwise its' just guessing
