But then it carves it as an outline, and pcb-gcode alludes to just carving the centerlines of the character somehow. It is quite readable on the first pass but later passes as the isolation is increased do a massive job of making the characters illegible. pcb-gcode does generate the files but they show as blank in the preview viewer, and contain no code that touches the board for either .top or .bot. files. The font is set to vector. I there something I can set in the eagle 'info' screen for these characters that will tell pcb-gcode that this is text, treat it accordingly? > Ciao, > Rainer Thanks & Cheers Rainer, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
