Have an urgent need to find how to engrave text onto a gentle curved surface (domed surface of a 3D object).
Searched this forum and Vectric site but not finding the method. A link to where to look would suffice. I'm sure it is staring me in the face but can't see it....

Using Aspire 4.

Cheers

In any 2D toolpath and VCarving (but not quick engraving), you'll see a checkbox towards the bottom that says, "Project toolpath onto 3D model" - Check that & you're all set...Use VCarving instead of the engraving strategy.
