Drawing mirrored letters

[g huns]

Anybody know of a true type font that will create letters like the MC box font. I need to mirror them and put them in the center of a box so using the drafting options page is way cool, but the drafting stick font just looks like a$$. Any suggestions.

I don't know if I follow you or not, but can't you Create Letters in the MC box font and then just mirror that? Or isn't that what you mean?

That's what I usually do. But I have to number some mold cavities 1-16 and when using the drafting options you can mirror in there and pick the center point of the letter instead of the lower left corner. I just draw a box with a diagonal line where the number will fit on the first cavity, x-form the box to the other 15. Then when using a drafting font that's mirrored and centered, just pick the midpoint of the diagonal line and every number is in the same place on every cavity. But like I said, the drafting stick font ain't so pretty.

instead of mirroring (word?) flip cplane to back. Create your box..translate... and then create letters. I usually drop a point (start point) in my rectangle so they all line up and delete points afterwards.

Instead of mirroring the geom just cut it from the bottom to create reverse engraving in your mould.

 

Or create the letters using the bottom cplane in the first place.
