    Default height of letters

    I have seen the tutorials on this subject before I seem not to find it again.

    That is not an mpc, is it a png? You cannot really control the height of centerline text. (If that is what you are thinking about.)

    Change what? You cannot change the depth of centerline. Do you mean make the letters bigger?

    If you look at what I have I'm wanting the letters not to be as tall so they will fit in between the pocket cut and outside edge...

    Don't you just draw an arc, use decorate text, and then change the pt size to what you want.

    You can also just place the text with a 90 degree arc and use the sizing handles. In this example I changed the bit to a 60 degree v-bit. This method appears to cut a little smoother (maybe).

    I started on the base do I have to put tabs on manually or assign the 1/16 carving bit for the cut out it started the outside first and is going through the board I thought that it would do that last ... I thought that the pocket cuts would start first or the text.
