See also: Creating Text Features
In addition to simple text, the Text Features (Geometry menu) command allows you to create text features which can be used in machining cycles. These can be specified using either EdgeCAM vector fonts or Windows TrueType fonts.
Please note that the content of TrueType font files is beyond Pathtrace's control and some characters may prove impossible to machine. Under these circumstances it may be necessary to 'explode' the text feature so that corrections to the geometry can be made.
The text features will be displayed in the Feature Browser and can be machined with any of the appropriate EdgeCAM machining cycles.
