I am making signage with a Woodgrain textured relief and the text is supposed to be raised.

The problem occurs after our designer sent me the layouts and the customer has selected the fonts, wich is not one of the ARTCAM listed fonts.

The border and the woodgrain look good but the text does not cut out right, and the fonts and designs he sent have been converted to curves so they are more like lines now instead of text.

These signs are 12" long x 6" tall, 0.75" border and the text is 1.1250"tall x about 10.0"long
6107

If you look close enough you can see that the text is getting "rolled" over and it does this with both of my ballnosed onsrud bits 1/8" or 1/4".

Any input is welcome.


- Thanks, Sam Errett

did you offset it half of your bit width?

I did not, as I have not cut very many of these styles of signs.

Try cranking up the resolution when you create the relief.
