DeskEngrave questions

[Andy Buck]

I just downloaded it and have some questions. First, is anybody using it? And liking it?

I've set up a test job but can't find the setting for one crucial thing: thickness of material! Depth of route is obvious, but thickness isn't.

Thanks.

I use it and I like it. Puts out good gcode. I believe that the Z axis is assumed to be zero and that any number you put in results in a negative Z movement. Also, set your decimals to 4 and precision from 16 to 32. This results in more code, but a much nicer cut.

As an aside, MetlHead has a program called StickFont that has some real potential. He also produces NCPlot. See the thread:
