Hi and thanks,

I'm newbie in solidcam but I can't found anywhere a engrave function to replace my artcam software.
After read, 2.5, 3d, 5axus manuals and watch some videos I don't found nothing to engrave text (or poligons) liker artcam do or mastercam engrave module do aswell.

I't possible to do this? Anyone know how to do this? or where can I found information?

Thanks again

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm from Basque Country

I have seen this video before but, whit this function I can only route along vector with a constant z from top level (text in this case) but want I want it's carve with a different Z level depending of the thick of the letter and the angle of the bit.

I send you a picture to see closer what i say.

Thanks again
