    raised letters

    I have XR2 Advantage, and am looking to do some raised letters, mirrored and on a curve to make a small stamp. What would be an efficient approach to this? So far my method has been to Chain Text, and then profile machine each letter. This seems very tedious.

    Wish I had a solid model of the design and could just z-level the things. But there will be many different designs of these stamps, with 40-50+ letters (font height about 1/4", and ~0.090 z height) on each design.

    Scott,

    You can just create a "boundary" around the letters and use the "pocket" function..
