Would you mind explaining by what you mean about "touching it up", for me? I downloaded the sox dxf and noticed the lines were not perfectly straight. It this what you touched up and may I ask how you did that?

I enclosed a screenshot of the dxf opened up and did a regen all command and this is the best I got.

I need some help. My church wants me to do some engravings of their logo. I've engraved this DXF before and it gave them a nice little plaque thang. The things they want me to make now are much smaller and the double lined text on them runs together. I need to make all the text on this logo into a stick type font so they are all single line engraving and still look like the original. I've tried wintopo with a pretty bad result.

Here is a .pdf file and the dxf I have now. I have an .ai file, an .eps file, and a .raw file if that would help.

Can you post your cleaned up version. I would like to compare the too and try to explain to fretsman.

Thanks.

Here is another version of your drawing with the lettering contouring the circle a little better. RayinNH no offense intended.

None taken, I just used the font that was there & offset it to the centerline, because Gravy said he wanted the letters to look the same. I figured there would be more than one response to the post.

Heres a nice one

This is a WindSpinner. The best way to cut this out would probably be a waterjet or laser CNC cutting 14 gage (.074) Steel, and then apply a nice patina and seal it up. Also need a swival hook to attach thread to hole so it is allowed to spin. I attached a completed picture to show you guys what the finished product should look like. When it is cut, grab the wolf picture and give it a little twist and it should spread out. You can also take the wolf out and insert any other picture in there.

The scalloped edges give a nice effect to the finished spinner!

My plasma arc CNC machine was used & did a fine job cutting this from 16 Ga steel.
A photo of the completed item is shown HERE.

Below is the partly finished spinner.
