With the beta verison

when i try to load a text it does not load

Are you talking about loading in text from a svg file or using the text option on the dashboard?

yes and now nothing is there now the beta is not showing up at all now

The GF UI can not process text (it never could.)

It has to be converted to paths for printing.

Or just use PDF instead of SVG. If a PDF file uses embedded fonts (which is common) then the Glowforge software will have access to the font and can render the text.

I have updated the software as requested. The workpsace changed to the beta version, which looks really exciting. I cannot upload any files though. It says rendering artwork, but never loads. No problems with my internet. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Never mind, working now. don’t know why, lol but not going to question a good thing!!!
