No.... I guess I read too quickly. I just caught that he wanted to stay with vectors... so I wasn't thinking "centerline". My apologies.

Thanks Doug, and yeah I wanted to use centerline for the look as well as the speed. I've seen the posts on ai2mpc and haven't downloaded/tried it as I've been able to do everything I need in Designer. I do have the DXF importer but will take a look at ai2mpc.
And DickB, you have some amazing clocks!
Shouldn't the "4, 5, 6, 7 and 8" be rotated 180 degrees?

I have an un unrelated but related question. On the picture of the finished clock, how did you get the centerline text dark with the face still light? When I do outdoor signs I spray the lettering and also painting the surrounding area, then sand the surrounding area to remove the unwanted paint. That will not word for fine stuff lild this.

Here are the same numbers as Roman Numerals.

Thank you!

When I have a V-carved sign where the letters are recessed (as in Centerline) I usually spray the entire sign with 2 coats of shellac first. After that dries, spray the letters black or any color you like and then sand off the surface with a random orbit sander (or a drum sander if you have one but, it really messes up the expensive sandpaper). Spraying the entire sign with shellac first stops most, if not all, of the paint from bleeding into the surrounding areas.
