There seems to be an issue with the plate marker tool.
Here are the same job, one with a .001 leadin on the plate marker and one without (normal) You will note that even in your simulation program you loose the first horizontal line with no leading. I was having this issue on a larger project and narrowed it down on this simple calibration drawing.

Dan At LDR found the problem. It is with the CandCNC Post Processor 11D (and some others)
Here is his fix (tested it and it fixed it)
Re: Not scribing first line if scribing only?

Finally had some time to revisit this issue. Was working on the post processor, to add some other features we needed for a custom machine, and spotted the problem.
Under the function OnPenDown() Look for the section of that function for the scribe
you will see (after lots of if then statements)
post.ModalText (" G00 ")
post.ModalNumber (" Z", (endZ + offZ) * scale, "0.000")
post.Eol()
post.ModalNumber (" X", (endX + offX) * scale, "0.000")
post.ModalNumber (" Y", (endY + offY) * scale, "0.000")
post.Eol()
endX and endY need to be changed to currentX and currentY
Just tested it here at our shop, and it works fine.
Thanks
