    Text Contours (Ellipse)

    Chad,
    How can I draw (or write in CAM) text that follows the contour of an ellipse. I have an engraving project with an ellipse.

    Straight text and radial text is easy.



    TIA

    Chad, I haven't had time to engrave the oval piece. I was about to start on it, but got a hot job to work on.

    I hope to have the oval engraving finished later this week.


    I'll keep you updated, but I'm sure it will work. Engraving is fun with Dolphin.

    Chad, please re-send the engraved text aligned with an ellipse again. I couldn't open the video that you sent.


    Thanks in advance.
