My suggestion would be to start with DeskEngrave.. a free program. not sure if it will save to DXF format, or only generate the G-Code for what you want... Either way, it is a free place to start experimenting..

Does anyone have an idea where I can download a set of number and letter templates? I am using Autocad but it shouldn't matter, DXF, dwg, whatever I can import and use.
Thanks for any help...

OK.. double checked on this, and it WILL save the resulting drawing in a DXF format, which you can then import into your software and use..

Much Thanks Eddie, you rock!
Not a problem. I have gotten a great deal of help from folks here on the board, so i am glad to be able to help someone else for a change

You might also try NCPlot. It has a text to G-Code function and is shareware. I've used both and the DeskEngrave Output file is Huge compared to the NCPlot Output
HEY! Thanks for mentioning that.. have used NCPLOT once or twice, but have never experimented with it.. just used it to check basic g-code files for obvious errors..
