    Engravelab Question

    Hoping someone can point out what I am missing here.

    Until recently I used Vectric V-Carve Pro for my rotary engraving and have switched to Engravelab Pro 9.

    I would like to position the rotary engraver in the center of a medal, and engrave a job from Engravelab where the reference point is the center of the plate. That way if I have a bunch to do with different names, I can just center the text on the plate in Engravelab and go. I can do this in VCarve, I can do it on my laser from Coreldraw, hopefully I can do it from Engravelab as well.

    Thanks,

    Go to engraving defaults and select "center". Set your plate size to the size of the object. Move the tool to the center position and select "home". It will return to "home" after each engraving unless you change the home position.

    I do most of my work in CorelDraw and am not really proficient with Engravlab.
