Full Detail of Features of The Engraving 2L Software - Full Version:
- Engrave any font and size.
- Use any combination of uppercase, lowercase or special characters. The characters are converted into outlines.
- Enter one or multiple lines of text.
- A single line engraving font (stick type font) is automatically installed with the engraving program.
- Import and scale DXF files for engraving logos, pictures and drawings. Complex line engravings can be produced by importing DXF files from CAD, CAM or other drawing programs.
- Incremental serial numbers:
- Create and engrave an incremental series of numbers in one output nc program (g-code program) by entering the starting and ending serial number and the increment.
- Compatible with any CNC control that recognizes G0 and G1 commands. A pause command such as M0 (or any other code specified by the user) can also be used for pausing between incremental serial numbers.
- Any font type, size and character spacing may be used for creating serial numbers. The serial numbers may also be rotated at an angle, mirrored, or wrapped around a circle.
- Enter any nc codes before or after each incremental serial number.
- - Enter simple nc codes. (Turn on or off the spindle and coolant, tool changes, pallet changes, coordinate offsets for multiple setups, etc.)
- - Cut and paste other machining programs into the serial number interface window to run the programs before or after each serial number is engraved.
- - Callout and run subprograms. (machine a part with a different nc program, then engrave the incrementing serial number)
- Add fixed text to the left or right of the incrementing serial number. For example, the output could appear as "Lot number: 10368 rev.B" with 10368 as the incrementing number.
- The serial number format is easily modified. For example, the output could appear as (with 1 as the incrementing number): "Lot:00001 rev.B" or "Lot: 1 rev.B" or "Lot :1 rev.B".
- Add documentary comments to the output nc program to allow easily locating specific serial numbers within the g-code program. The comment format is easily modified for different CNC controls.
- Create standard 3 axis g-code output. Or the engraving output can be “wrapped” around a cylinder for 4 Axis rotary engraving.
- Define and display the part stock. Determine whether the engraving will fit into an area of specific size.
- Rotate the engraving at any angle. Rotate text, DXF files, and incremental serial numbers.
- Mirror the engraving for mold-making or reverse engraving (for engraving the back side of clear materials). Mirror text, DXF files, and incremental serial numbers.
- Align text to the left, right, or center.
- Control the spacing between letters, words, and lines of text in a paragraph.
- Wrap the text or incrementing serial numbers around a circle of specified size. (eg. - the letters on a coin.)
- Export the text as a DXF file for use in other drawing or CAD/CAM software programs.
- Add any nc codes to the beginning and end of the output nc program. Allows complete CNC programs to be created that do not require any manual editing.
- Provides control of cutting feedrate, plunging feedrate and depth, rapid clearance plane height, line numbering, and origin point location.
- Operates using inches or millimeters.
- Creates Absolute (G90) or Incremental (G91) Output.
- Output Preview Window shows the engraving output. Zoom (in or out) and pan (scrolling) to verify the engraving before any machining is performed. Rapid moves may be displayed or hidden.
- The Engraving Output nc program is saved as a text file. File may be viewed and edited with notepad or another text editor.
- Detailed Instructional Help is provided with the program.
