Is that Mach3 / 4 by Artsoft?
What CAD software do you use?
Mach 3. I use Vectric Cut 2D Desktop for making up signs and plates as it will engrave simple text to traffolyte and cut out fixing holes and panel button holes and the plate itself. And Stickfont V2.6 for engraving text on switches and things as it is substantially more flexible for text. Was making these ready for this week splitting offices to 3 separate suppliers meters.

Makes my Dymo look very inadequate
 
I only usually bother on posher jobs with nice clients or more heavy industrial work where clear durable labels are more important.
 
For the latter, it must be nice being able to print your own.
Yes, saves having to draw up designs with measurements etc., send the designs away and then wait for them to be made and delivered. Don't have to worry about minimum order charges and such either.

Something that's intriguing me

Kitchen socket sink side 32 amp

Kitchen socket hob side 32 amp

3 ring finals ?

4mm radials ?

pt550 doesn't like printing "sockets"




If you had one of those in the 90s you would be the bees knees :)
