Hey all,
Running into what I believe may be a fill setting issue that I haven’t been able to resolve on my own.
I have engraved text that have been patterned across the material. I am trying to get this grouped text to engrave individually. I have tried all the fill settings but none of them seem to do what I am looking for.
The picture above shows “fill all shapes at once / fill groups together” selected, as you can see the engraving speed lines are in place of where a traverse would occur and this greatly slows the engraving down.
When I have “fill shapes individually / flood fill” selected (shown below) it gets me close to what I’m trying to achieve, however it breaks down into individual letters and does each letter by itself.
For example, I would like to engrave “TEXT123” all at once before it moves to the next engraving. However no matter which settings I try to mess with its either taking the long route, or its engraving “T”, “E”, “X”, “T”, “1”,“2”, “3” which I am trying to avoid since it looks like it would be causing a lot of unnecessary movement / wear.
I have also tried to group “TEXT123” together before patterning, converting it to path, etc all to no avail.
Does anyone have any input or ideas as to what I can do to resolve this?
Thanks!
