| Ok, sorry, i mean i can`t carve with only the senterline, it came many lines. And the cnc is using much more time to carve many lines in one letter. I figured out that when i try to make smaller letter`s, it came just a senter line, but when i write bigger letter`s, it came many lines... Understand? Thanx. Robert.

If Artcam needs to make multiple passes to cut out a font it is not a true single line font. If the cutter width is not as wide as the toolpath it needs to make multiple passes. You need to use a single line font or a larger diameter cutter if you want to save time.

| I always import .dxf files into artcam. Artcam seems bad about creating errors with little tiny gaps and things that you don't see, can be a real pain to find them all sometimes. You set a max depth on your V carving, if the width of the v cutter does not cut the whole width of the letter while staying above the "maximum depth" then it will take multiple passes. If you want single pass letters you need to either increase themaximum depth setting or use a cutter with a larger angle so it makes a wider path. Matt |

| Ok. Many thanx! The DXF file, what type DXF do you use? "2000/LT2000" or "2004/LT2004" or something else? Robert.

| I don't use autocad, its just dxf for me. It shouldn't make a difference to artcam, try both and see. Matt |
