    Default Greek Letters

    OK Folks, I am in severe brain lock.. I either need to know how to outline and cut a 'Outline Letter' similar to outlining and cutting a pattern with cut path or I need a couple of Greek Alphabet patterns. I need the Alpha and Omega for a local church.
    Needed width is 6 inches.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Steve place the text you want on the board
    Now right click on the text on left side of screen
    Select outline patterns
    Now you have vectors of the letter, and you may delete the letter at this point
    right click on each of the vectors made, select bit, and be sure to inset the bit if you want to cut outside or - (minus) if inside the line for half the bit dia.
    Choose the depth, and the max cuts to be made.

    All done.

    Sometimes you have open outlines that won't work as a cut path as this is sometimes the best way..... A cut path... The Tabs keep the parts from jamming. You can clean up the path or just draw another over top and delete the first open one.

    OR you can just do vector cuts and leave a skin on the bottom of the whole letter to sand off the bottom skin to release all the parts.

    Good Luck,
