    Only been using the program for 3 days.     Use with LaserGRBL.     Simply using text to mark part numbers.

    I figured out what font and sizes worked best for my application. After doing a few parts, all the font sizes changed on me.

    I adjust "Document Properties" "Display" from mm to in. Then Width and Height to 4 inches each.

    My font size choices have been /were: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 ext...

    Out of no where, the font sizes changed in the drop down menu now showing: 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13 ext... 

    Can someone let me know why it changed?? and /or How to get it back to the old font size numbers?

    I even uninstalled the program from my computer and re downloaded it. Same issue.

    Thank you!

    Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem. I suggest uploading the file for examination by our experts. (Use the paperclip icon below the comment box.)

    There is a dropdown menu for units next to the font size numeric entry, it may have accidentally been changed to inches from points.

    Tyler. I tried what you did this morning. Don't know how to do the fancy screen record so I did a video.

    My font size didn't automatically change the first time from the .xxxxxxx size, but it did after I manually changed it and repeated the process, nor did it change when I dropped the font size menu down.

    But, when I entered the size I wanted manually, everything seems to fit like it did before. But the drop down menu still shows .xxxxxx numbers

    I haven't saved "Object to path" yet and tried it in LaserGRBL but hoping it works as it did before. I wont be at the office today.

    Thank you all so much for such fast responses!!!

    I was unable to reproduce the issue here. Each time, it would make the change and not revert to the other units.

    Ended up at the office. 

    Everything worked like it was before, despite the font menu being .xxxxxx but manually entering the text size worked.

    Thank you all again so much!!!
