Using Centerline

[Rick P]

Is there a way in Centerline to get all the text the same size when you have multiple lines. I tried to type in one height size in the size box and applied it to all my text lines, but the actual carving size had size variations.

My project is carving the Ten Commandments and my layout has 16 lines. I used Tahoma for my font and the 60 degree V bit. My final plaque size is 8" wide by 14" long. I wanted the carved text height to be about 1/4" for small letters like s, o, m .

Try pasting it or typing it into one "text tool" box. You can edit it in that box.
That should hold it uniform.

After you set up your lines/phrases, highlight one set at a time and set the "Right most" type size (The height) for each line with "Caps" at ".33" and the lines with no "Caps" at ".25".

Take care, when you move a line, not to change the size of the Text Box, or at least go back and recheck the sizing. If you need more space between letters, EDIT the text and set your spacing by using that Icon on the Text Editor.

I would use the Word program, than “Copy and Paste” using the Text Tool (T) function.

I carved these just fine. You are welcome to it if you want.

The text is sure going to be small
