When I open a file on my main computer that I created on another PC and the same font is not available on the main computer, it flips the font 180°.
It never used to do this. Is this intentional to tip off the user that the fonts are not actually fonts on the computer you are using anymore?
Kind of annoying to have to flip only the one set of font 180 degrees then line it all back up.
I think this is a gap in the auto-flipping mechanism. I’ve noticed similar behavior but hadn’t bothered to narrow down to a testable case.
If it’s only in cases where the fallback path is being used that seems straightforward.
Adding @LightBurn for visibility.
Also, @LightBurn, likely not related, but lately I’ve noticed on some projects the frame commands are reversed. When I hit frame box it traces around the edges like rubber band and vice versa.
I’ve never seen this. Do you have specific examples where this happens? I can try to recreate.
No, it’s an intermittent (gremlin) of a problem, Just tried it and it didn’t happen. The laser/lightburn has also been shut off since the time it was happening.
Interesting. This is on your Ruida correct? How are you connected?
Correct, ethernet
@LightBurn any thoughts on this?
Also @LightBurn , I’m think this is more of a switch from PC to Mac and vice versa, problem. I just opened another file and my image is out in space. Wouldn’t have thought anything of it, but I need it to be exactly where it should be because of location with a jig.
Summary of suspicious actions.
1.The above noted
2.Frame commands reversed
3.Fonts flipping upside down
Do both systems have the machine origin set to the same corner? If not, the positions will be different, because the coordinate system origin is in a different location.
If both machines are connecting to the same laser, the Origin corner in Edit > Device Settings should match.
Good call on that, likely the problem there. The PC doesn’t connect to an actual laser, I just use it for design work.
Any thoughts on the other two?
What do you mean by “the other two”?
When I frame a lot of times if I use the rubber band version it traces the outer extents and vice versa
and
#3 is likely caused by the different origin as well.
#2 I’ve never seen before. You’re saying that if you have a circle or triangle on your page and you click the normal frame button, the laser follows the circle or triangle shape, not a rectangle?
Correct and vice versa where I expect to see a rectangular frame and it follows the contours instead
I’ve never seen this happen before. Does this happen every time, or just occasionally? I’d need some way to reproduce this or at least verify. As far as I’m aware, no one else has ever reported anything like this.
I’ll try it again when I’m back at my station, but it seems to be intermittent, but happens more often than the correct way
The origin issue was the problem BTW - thanks there
You would benefit from setting up a device on your design machine that’s equivalent to your target job machine. This will allow you to make sure you have the same settings when transferring between the two.
