    Screenshot?

    Sizes comes from your operating system. So back to the Windows settings :) (font size Change the size of text in Windows 10 , screen resolution etc)

    hey cheers for your suggestions...tried all that and doesn't affect the command programme.....its not affected i guess because ts a standalone programme in its own window

    if it were embedded in a web page like the design software is then it would change with those tweeks (font size in settings/screen res/using ctrl and + ) would work

    its kind strange that theres nothing in the actual COMMAND software settings that you can change the size of the graphics and fonts

    ive also tried to screenshot the openbuilds screen to no avail....gremlins?

    If i put me reading glasses on and get 15 cm from the screen i can just see but its kinda rubbish
    cheers any more ideas?

    Screenshot so we can see what it looks like:
    Prints screen button on keyboard with CONTROL open, then come to the forum and hit Ctrl+v to paste the screenshot. Super easy

    Or try another computer

    To do single line lettering
    1) You need Hershey fonts
    2) You need a CAM that understands open vectors (Not OpenBuilds CAM)

    VCarving:
    But what you really should be doing for text is VCarving with Vectric Products - OpenBuilds Part Store

    V-Bits with a VCarving toolpath gets into all the details and looks really pro
