Likely, the print window coordinates will be well outside of the desired X0,Y0 – X16,Y12
coordinates. If this occurs, the file will need to be printed by picking the window rather than
typing in the desired window coordinates. Drawing a box on another layer which is set to be
“unprintable” and selecting the lower left and upper right endpoints during the Pick Window
routine is commonly done to properly place graphics on the laser cutting/engraving area.
For troubleshooting AutoCAD, check the following on your setup.
• Set all lines to one of the standard (pens 1 through 7) colors.
• Locate lines to within the engraving field area (ex: 16 x 12 inch area).
• AutoCAD origin (0,0) is lower left corner of machine.
• Set print area to print Window of appropriate size (ex: 24 x 12 inches).
• Set ULS Print Driver print area to match the AutoCAD print Window area.
• Always preview print as full preview.
• Always check pen width in pen assignments.
• Is the file drawn 1=1 scale?
• Keep in mind that lines will be cut in the order that they are drawn. If objects are copied,
then drawing order is randomized.
• Draw objects as POLYLINES for best results!
