I’ve been working on a project which involves engraving 50 clock faces. I created one, centered the numbers within the cicular cut line and after applying the array tool to create 50, i found that the numbers on some of the faces had shifted to the left of center. On several faces, the spacing between the 1 and 2 (12) had increased. The error seemed worse in the front right of my machine. How can i correct this? I have a 100 watt Omtech
Does the shift appear in your preview window? If the Preview window shows the layers aligned correctly, this is most likely a mechanical issue according to our troubleshooting documentation:
Do you have hide backlash enabled in your optimization settings? This may help.
How are you engraving these? Are you engraving normal direction across the X axis with the orientation as shown in the picture or are you engraving rotated or along the Y axis (front to back)?
