I have not used this in this version of the board/software. However, I have used it before and it does (did) work quite well.

It looks like you are on the right track with your settings.

Question: How deep is it engraving for you. If it is not pretty deep, then there will be virtually no grade to see. As I recall, I had to go pretty slow and hot to get it deep enough that the grade would show up.

BTW - Grade Engrave does not force it to go deeper - it merely ramps down/up the power as it approaches/departs from a line (edge). Also remember that you need to be engraving a inverse image. So, if doing vector type objects, use white letters on a black background. Then, in LaserCAD, tell it to engrave the object using GradeEngrave. The (white) letters will have no burn dept and the background will be the deepest. There will be ramps up from the black (deep) area to the white area.
