Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: inlays

I have never figured out how to make the letters a certain size in Desk
Engrave at all. It appears to be hit or miss, some letters with the
exact same settings are larger or smaller than others. Some say its goes
by units, the units in EMC are .0393 I think , any multiple of that does
not come out right. If I put G20 and use inches that also does not come
out right.
