Bought it earler today and will build it this week....I hope.

Steve,
I discovered (rediscovered?) how to find True Type Fonts on my PC, doing a search for the *.TTF files. I am struggling with which fonts to use, especially when they are one that I have not...

Thanks Dick. This is pretty much what I had evisioned making and your details have encouraged me. I probably have everything needed to quickly make one too.

Last night I discovered the Universal...

Dick, I made a simple sled a couple of years ago to carve on acrylic, but have yet to really make a sled. I agree that I should do so and have had the plans and notes about making them for years now....

I wonder if this was caused by coming out from under the roller? It would only take a tiny change to create the lighter carving. It would not be as noticeable in the V bit text carvings, but in an...

Dick, I just took a picture of the carving I did yesterday, and a screen shot of the Designer depiction of what it should look like. It is using the 1/16 ball nose bit, which Designer allows to be...

No, not that I know of; I have hundreds of pictures taken over the last 10 years so something might show up. I usually only take pictures of completed projects and the failed ones head to the...

This thread is digressing to mostly text issues instead of conforming vectors, but they are so interrelated that it is probably really still on topic. My original posting was about getting conforming...

Have you also been having difficulty with font sizes not carving as displayed in Designer? Just curious how many are experiencing this.

When looking at the list of fonts, I have no idea how to tell which one is standard. How is that done?
I have used Ariel and Ariel Narrow on the examples provided above.

I suppose we will have to agree to not agree on your first point. I am using the latest Designer versions, always have, along with most of the add on packages. I completely disagree with you about...

Yes, I know how the text and depth is related and based on the angle of the bit. What I have a very difficult time with is how to determine the actual font width versus the actual cut depth. It will...

Darn, lost my reply to you Steve. I will try it again.
I know about how to install bits and the errors that are caused by not doing so correctly. This is not the case, but thank you for the...

8306083061Well, it worked pretty good; the best it ever has for me. It did not carve the text on the Hero's Engine very well, but the other text will work. Deeper would have been better, but that has...

I bought this upgrade when it first came out, tried it a couple of times, getting weird results. Mostly it was carving crazy, not moving like it should, etc. I moved the text out of the pocket with...
