When I received the notice email about your post, I had quite honestly forgotten about that post. I am not at all familiar with SheetCAM, so cannot offer any guidance there. I feel your pain, in trying to deal with engraving text.

If this is not relevant, I hope the mods will move it. Is there a way to eliminate the duplicate lines that would be simpler than to select edit contours, right click them and moving them to another (invisible) layer? This seems tedious and I'n hoping for an easier way. Also, there are two sets of lines for almost every bit for this job. Maybe I could edit the actual gcode once I get to the point of understanding it better. Since I cannot delete one of those lines, does this cause the shading entities to change from red to yellow in this letter? I can't figure out the best way to eliminate this problem and as it stands, I can't use the gcode. I can usually delete one of them and things will be fine. There is a double line in the "r" that seems to bee two loops tied together instead of the usual two that are separate.

In this case I cannot figure out how to fix the "r" in "Rocker". Second, there are extra lines that are connecting the letters that I want to remove. Where do I correct this error? In Corel or SheetCam?. I have a file (Bass Freak 1-1.dxf) that is not showing up correctly in SheetCam and I want to ask what I can do to fix it.įirst of all, the drawing is so far from the work-space that it is barely visible. I am new at this so I'm sure I need some guidance. I have followed the steps from the first post and it seemed to work. dxf, load into SheetCam and post to Mach3. I have had some success with engraving before. I then selected the layer, and the tool of choice (engraving bit) and set the depth, and then Posted the file to Mach3! The engravings are beautiful! The steps I used, are as follows:ġ-Using the Text tool in CorelDRAW, I typed in the desired textĢ-I selected the text, and changed the Font to Edwardian Script (any font you desire which is installed on your system works here).ģ-I then selected the text, and converted to Artistic Text format, and Grouped it together.Ĥ-I selected Convert to Bitmap from the Bitmaps menuĥ-I selected the Trace option, Centerline Trace, Technical drawingĦ-I exported the selected result as a HPGL PLT fileħ-I opened the file from Laz圜AM's Open Vector File option, and selected HPGL PLT as the format The Trace utility available in X4 features a Centerline, Technical drawing option. While composing a CDR file to send to Corel's Jeff Harrison about macros for use in CorelDRAW, I came across a work-around for this problem. This poses a problem, because the lines used to construct the font are so close together, that instead of a delicately detailed engraving, you end up with a largely unrecognizable hole being carved into the wood! If you have ever tried to import files containing text into Laz圜AM, I am sure that you have experienced the problem this poses: the font used will invariably come in as an Outline of the actual font. I recently upgraded to version X4 of CorelDRAW, and was using it to create artwork for engraving with my CNC Router. It places the imported part or assembly as a component in the Autodesk Inventor assembly.I have made an amazing discovery, which I wanted to share with everyone who is using CorelDRAW.
