Try to engrave

James Preston May 11, 2017 1:01 PM

I had a problem finding the OLF SimpleSam OC font in SolidWorks now thanks to this form I can now put stick fonts on my models, here is my new problem, when I bring in my model into MasterCam I can't see the stick font on it to machine it. If anyone has any thought I could use the help.

Thanks

J. P.

How did you use the stick font, just as a sketch or did you use the Cut Extrude Tool? Did you save the file as a dfx or can you load SW directly into MasterCam??

Showing something would surely help out or uploading the part

You need to "Dissolve Sketch Text" into single entities. You can get to this tool by selecting the text and right clicking.

    That's great. I've heard Mike Rowe talk about SkillsUSA on his podcasts. Sounds like a great organization. Good luck.
