mastercam text

[kyle]

is there a way when writing mastercam text

so that is in on more than one line. I have

a couple lines of text we are going to engrave

in a mold but when typing cannot get on more than

one line..it all is on one like only, I am sure

there is an easy explination and thanks in advance.

I would split the text up into two lines (two ops) and place them on your geometry then window pick them for the tool path.

There's probably an easier way but that's how I do it

Thanks Jim,

 

That is how I did end up doing it but hoped

there was an easier way. Thanks for the quick

reply.

I don't think so, I've never been able to. (except in 'drafting-notes')

 

I usually write out all the text in one long line, then use 'Modify-Drag' to move it around as needed. For mold work write your text in Gview #4 so you don't have to mirror it.

Create the text using drafting notes. (Create, drafting, Note) Then break it into serpate entities. (Modify, Break, Draft/Line)

Thanks for the help, the note works great, only

wish it would create arcs also but it did what

I needed. Thanks again for the help..
