Workflow

1. Set your Plate dimensions and Machine Config in the left panel.

2. Add lines to the queue with + Line. Enter text, choose a font, set height.

3. Use Auto Layout (toggle ON to auto-distribute baselines) and Auto Width (toggle ON to auto-condense each line to fit the plate).

4. Click Preview All or Ctrl/⌘+P to render the toolpath on the canvas.

5. Click Export All or Ctrl/⌘+E to download the G-code file.

Auto Layout

When Auto Layout is toggled ON, baselines are automatically distributed evenly across the plate height whenever you add, remove, or move lines. Toggle it OFF to position lines manually.

Auto Width

When Auto Width is toggled ON, the Width % for the selected line is automatically calculated to fill the plate width. Useful for single-line engraving where you want maximum text size.

Share Link

Click Share Link to copy a URL to your clipboard. The entire job (queue, plate, machine settings) is compressed and encoded in the URL hash — no server required. Anyone with the link can open the exact same job in their browser.

Job Files (.djob)

Use Save Job to export your queue as a .djob file (JSON format). Use Load Job to restore a saved job. Jobs include plate dimensions, machine config, and all queue lines.

Justify & Arc Engraving

Each line can be Left, Center, or Right justified within the plate margins. For curved text, set Radius and Center X/Y under Arc Engraving.
