Hi All...We just purchased a Epilog Mini 24 and CorelDraw X7 to engrave our plastic ID component tags for electrical control panels. These will typically be 1/2" x 2" tags with unique text using the Rowmark LaserMark laminate with adhesive already on. One of the problems I'm having is getting the text to stay centered in the 1/2 x 2 tag. I'm basically drawing 24" horiz hairlines and 12" vert hairlines to get my grid of vector lines and then centering a piece of artistic text in the upper left hand corner 1/2 x 2 tag. This tag is centered on x: 1". I'm then duplicating this text piece 2" to the right multiple times to the far right tag. Im then duplicating this entire row of text pieces down (y=-1/2") to the bottom of the drawing page.
Now all the tags have the same text piece centered in them and I start to go back and edit each box to the unique tag it needs to be. What I keep finding out is that depending on how many characters I use in each text piece, the center keeps moving on me. Sometimes not very much, sometimes by alot.
Is there something I'm missing on my setup? Right now I have to keep going back and centering the pieces on X: 1, 3, 5, 7, etc...to get them exactly in the middle.
Any help would be appreciated!
