Hi, I updated from 0.9 today to the latest and can weld 2 shapes at a time, but I used to be able to select all text to be welded and do it at once(the weld tool is ok for most of the text, but the font we use we have to overlap the capital letter ourselves). If this purposely done or a bug? …

It seems to be hit and miss. I’ll post here when I figure out what exactly stops it.

The only reason you’d not be able to weld is if one or more of the selected shapes aren’t closed. Weld needs closed shapes to work.

Hi, theyre definately closed. I’ll try another machine. I tried it with just squares and it works fine.

If you find something that doesn’t give you the option to weld, post it here so we can have a look. I can just about guarantee you that one or more of the shapes aren’t closed. For what it’s worth, “Closed” means a single, continuous loop. We very often see shapes made of disconnected lines that …

Thats what I do and thats where the problem was starting. If I highlighted just 1 word it will weld but if I select all of them it doesn’t. It worked fine before the upgrade. Is a lightburn or dxf best to send over?

[image] Phillyf: If I highlighted just 1 word it will weld but if I select all of them it doesn’t. There are two different “weld” options here, one is a Text option (RalphU is showing this in the image they posted above), the other is one of the Boolean tools, used for any shape. The key is u…

Sorry, I use Ctrl+W. I’ve been doing it the same way since the beginning(80k names at a rough guess) its just since this update its hit and miss with certain name lists. Sorry for taking up your time!
