ocala Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I use autocad (version 2002) to draw 2D drawings which I then engrave with a rabbit laser engraving unit (model RL-60-9060). The problem I have been experiencing is that in order to engrave these files I have to save my .dwg's as .dxf's which I then import into a program called (laser systems 5.3) when I import these files everything looks fine except for the text which is shifted (only in certen random areas and always to the right) I then have to look at the file very closly and move the text back where it should be, often missing something which makes me have to go through hours of sanding my metal down and repainting it before I can try again. Ive been told that I need to explode the text in autocad to correct the issue, however I have had no success doing this. any help would be appreciated, I will post the drawings if it would help. If any one could shed some light on this it would make my life much easier and my boss much happier Quote
