letters

[DavidB]

It would be nice when creating letters to be able to type in more than one line.Like you can on a drafting note.

DavidB,

 

Welcome to the forum. That would be nice if Letters could be expanded. For now, if you want to have a paragraph style note machined on your part, Create-Drafting-Note and then Modify-Break-Draft/line. This will take any drafting (dims, notes) and break it into individual lines, which you can apply contour toolpath to. HTH

Yes, that would be nice, but I find I have to move the lettering around anyway to get it in the right place. So make all your lettering in one long line and use 'Modify - Drag' to relocate it as needed.

While we are talking about letters, I sometimes have an strange and annoying problem...when placing letters at "top of arc", the line of letters starts at 12 o'clock and wraps around the arc clockwise...However at school when performing the same opperation, the line of letters centers at 12 o'clock, and wraps counterclockwise and clockwise, keeping the line of text symetrically at the "top of the arc". Any ideas? thx

Peter Scott,

Thanks for the tip i didn't no that.

When creating letters can can choose true type®

different fonts it would be nice if when selecting a font it gave you a sample of the font style.

David,

I have Windows XP Pro and when I go to select a TrueType font I get a sample of the fonts when I click on them. I get the samples in "Letters" and in "Drafting" & "Note" text fields from the drafting globals. It may be an OS kind of thing.
