Here's my situation. I engraved the plate shown below on a large sheet of aluminum. I didn't have my ruler guides set up perfect on the laser yet so it didn't come out square. The result was that I had to shear off all 4 sides of the engraved plate to make it square.
Now I need to add another name to the plate and make it line up perfectly with the others. I still have the file but I'm not sure how to align the laser so that it will engrave the next name perfect or near perfect under the 2013 name. The other picture below shows my setup options for my laser engraver which is a GCC LaserPro Mecury III 25 watt. Any suggestions or will I have to start over with a new plate?
