Welded switch enabled by default when using text, or can it be off by default?

Just wondered if it was me, or can the Welded switch be off by default.
I noticed when doing text the it’s on when I select the text icon.
It’s not a big problem, but when doing text with it switched on any letter or number with a curve is distorted.
I switch it off and the text is perfect. The distortion is more noticable with small text.

Thanks.

Which version are you running? The tolerances for this were tightened up for the 0.9.10. This is my display, using 5mm Arial, just like yours, but in V0.9.10: (top is welded, bottom isn’t):

The internal tolerances are under 0.01mm, so you’ll never see it when it’s engraved.

The internal tolerances are under 0.01mm, so you’ll never see it when it’s engraved.

Thats ok then.
I’m Using 0.9.10. but first noticed it in 0.9.09


I plan to replace the arc fit with a more general spline fit with either the next release or the one after, but given that the small differences there are well under 1/10mm I don’t think you’ll ever see them.

Ok Oz. Thanks for the reply.
I’ll just remember to switch Weld off before typing any text.

Still love the program.

Regards.
