This has probably been asked before but: HPGL on DanPlot problem?
First. I create a 2D artwork in say Corel draw for example two rectangles(one inside the other) with text(convert to curves) in the middle.
Second. I print to file HPGL.
Third. I view the HPGL file with a viewer and it looks fine!
Fourth. I take the file to my mill. Start Danplot,home the machine and load the file. When it cuts, it does the first rectangle, then instead of moving to inside the first rectangle it moves diagonaly across the work and starts outside the rectangle and cuts the second rectangle and then proceeds to place the text in the middle, every time I recheck with a viewer and the hpgl file looks fine.
I think I am missing some important point!
Thanks Peter
