Making a sign

[PanhandleHammer]

I work for a millwright company, we have a Dynatorch table. Its a plasma table thats all i know, our code generation software is We-Cim. We usually draw parts and stuff with TuboCad. Not very savy with CAD and none of us really understand what our table is capable of, we liek to keep things simple.

Anyway my mom wants me to make her a sign saying "@ Liberty" 2 signs, one with the "@" and one with "Liberty" I'm pulling out what little hair i have left trying to figure out how to draw this on CAD and then get it so i can cut it on the table. So i have to draw the letters out or is there a shortcut so i dont have to spend all that time. I'm sure there's a faster way out there, just don't know how to do it...



might be wrong forum sorry if im in the wrong spot new user one here...

If you have we-cim, you should also have cuttingshop. It does really well with text. You can type it and then convert to polylines (and optimize at the same time). Use the bridge tool to make sure the parts you want to keep won't fall out when cut. A usual problem encountered is the cut area is not wide enough for we-cim to put a cut path. run it back and forth between the two programs and fine tune it before cutting.

Gary at we-cim is very helpful over the phone with issues like this.

Good luck!

You should also have PlasmaMate software. It also does letters very well.
