Your file setup will be the same as per usual engraving projects. The only consideration you should keep in mind is the orientation. The top part of your file will be facing the same way on the machine as it is on your screen. For a 360° engraving job, you will have to measure the circumference of your part and set as the height of your file. The width can we however much you want it to be as long as it fits on the part.

Your file setup will be the same as per usual engraving projects. The only consideration you should keep in mind is the orientation. Your design will be facing the same way on the machine as it is on your screen. Since your part is setup sideways, the height of your part becomes the width of your design and the width of your part (circumference) becomes the height of your design. For a 360° engraving job, you will have to measure the circumference of your part and set as the height of your file. The home point is still the top left corner of your file. This is something to consider when setting up the home point on the laser, as it will go from left to right unless you modify settings.
