text optimization
« on: May 16, 2008, 10:32:46 AM »
i am trying to use Lcam to create multiple line text.  i also need to know if you can set the font size?  i haven't been able to find it in there so i wonder if it exists. also can lcam do text engraving using a 4th axis on a cylinder?

thanks

ok i ended up doing multiple lines in my cad program.  now i'm trying to optimize the program.  i would like for LCAM to do one letter at a time right now it jumps around from letter to letter doing part of each at a time.

thanks

Jerry,

Yep, best I can figure, CAD, multiple lines, like ruled paper.

Don't know about cylindrical machining.

For ordering the text I found success by clicking "Optimize" then was able to drag the chains around the project window into a sensible order.
