I'm a visual learner and slow to understand. I have been watching video's on this and just didn't get it. People talk to fast or rush through the options. I have watched 3 of yours so far and loving it. You stay on point don't go off on a rant and I get lost. Great job thank you.

[@wduquette-nb7zx]

Wow very informative - thanks - How do you use different size and styles of fonts on the same sign

[@hectorflores6666]

Great video thanks. If I want to inlay letters (like last names ) for a cutting board what type of Vbit will work the best for inlays? My letter style would be some what boxy looking!

[@EverwoodCreations]

A typical 60VBit should work just fine. The inlay toolpath can do the work for you on that one. I used the inlay toolpath for the cross in the box video we posted.

[@andyscheurer6336]

Nice video! Do you know if reversing the letters is possible? For making stamp for example. Thanks.

[@EverwoodCreations]

Thanks! Reversing your text should be a simple matter of selecting it and using the Mirror Tool under transform objects. For more info, check out our video about those tools : ua-cam.com/video/MhL82MrHhOA/v-deo.html

[@ProfessorOzone]

That's great, but what I wanted was a way for an end mill to just move down the center of the text to cut it out. Instead, it want's to pocket it out (and the bit doesn't fit) or it wants to go inside (bit doesn't fit) or outside (all the letters blend). Yes, I know I can use a V-bit, but I just wanted something simple and not to have to change the bit. Got anything for that?

[@EverwoodCreations]

The text tool in the software assumes you want a pocket style carving. The only way I know of to do what you are talking about would be to draw the letter lines yourself and trace them with a centered profile toolpath.
