Jose,
The first thought is, have you done the text in vector format?
From the manual:
"Text Generates gcode to engrave any vector text that is on the Milling (46) layer."

To check, on your board, go to the info button and then retrieve the info for your text.

Emacs!? Emacs!At 10/

If it is not "Vector Font" do the drop down and click vector and then apply.

Chances are this will fix your problem as Eagle defaults to proportional and I know that one bit me several times over the years!

If it doesn't, let us know and we will try again.

Dear Art
Thanks again for your help. But my sad story didn't yet finished.
I use a old laptop HP with a centrino duo and windows 8.1 to do this job and connect with my cnc.?
But when I tried to make texts it acts very strange : my draw appeared but text not. I think that it's to much maths to centrino even tried with a small word alone and after 5 minutes a warning telling me that eagle stopped again and again.?
So I installed eagle 9.6.2 on other laptop HP with core i5 on windows 8.1. but with the same results. So here I am before you again wanting to see the light that only a expert as you my friend?
can make appears.
? Thanks.?
Jose

Jose,
Glad to hear you got that one fixed (or at least working)!

Now to your text problem.
Click on the 'I'?? (info) button on the toolbar and then click on the text that you want to change layer.


This will bring up the dialogue box and your can use the drop down menu for the layer and change to which ever one you want. For instance, I use the milling layer as that is how I cut text.

? ??

Click 'Apply' and then 'OK' and you have it where you want it!

Good luck.

Hi Art
Thanks for your tip but perhaps because of my older Eagle version didn't work, so I created a new line between the objects and the drawing edge and it works : the newer line does not appear but my object it's there. This is a little bit insane!
Now I have another issue this time with text : is written on layer 16 (I don't know why) and in reverse mode (bottom side but I need top).??
I suppose that is isn't the correct layer but again I don't know to correct it.??
So please help me again.??
Thanks again.??
Jose
