    i would like to engrave on a aluminium padlock but when we engrave the pointer does mark twice on each letter.

    i would like that it would that the tracer would run only once.

    the dimension of the surface is 30 mm with and height 10 mm

    for an example the mane to wright is MAINTENANCE

    THANKS

    Practice on a piece of material the same size as padlock. I think "MAINTENANCE" is too long. You may have to use single-line font.

    thanks for your reply. the thing is that I am looking for a single-line font in the software and I can't find one.
    do you have an idea for a font?
    thanks for your help.
