Text Machining

[Ajit]

Hi friends

 

I want to Create CNC code for Machining lettters in differnt faces of block.with me the information regarding Text Height, Location, and font style etc.

 

Is it possible through Chook to create text in mastercam and also generate

CNC code using CHooks for machining this letter on the surface of block.

I got above post on fourm regarding v8_note but i could not able to create text in master cam using this .

 

Can any body tell me how to set text in this function which i want to draw in mastercam

 

InitNOTE (&entity);

calc_note(&entity, view, ref_pt, text);

 

 

Thanks in advance.

How about Create-Next Menu-Letters? No chook required.

Are you going to create different text or the same text for every job? Creating Chooks is above my skill set but I have created engraving files that I just merge into my other files for company logo and mold identification. I then use my library to engrave text.

 

Gotta love MC million ways to do everything, some just easier than others.

If you have several lines of text I like: create /drafting/notes then you can pick your font height ect. Then just modify break draft/line. hth

Sorry I won't be of any help in the c-hook environment.

If you use the method Gary described, you can import any font you want. I have done that with amazing results.

+1 to Gary and TS53

 

I use this option many, many times. You can select your font, size, alignment, etc. You can either do both 2D and 3D operations.

 

When creating letter geometry using TrueType fonts, you are limited only by the number of TrueType fonts that are installed on your personal computer. See your Windows® documentation for more information about TrueType fonts.
