    It's possible to engrave with solidcam like Artcam?

    Hi and thanks,

    I'm newbie in solidcam but I can't found anywhere a engrave function to replace my artcam software.
    After read, 2.5, 3d, 5axus manuals and watch some videos I don't found nothing to engrave text (or poligons) liker artcam do or mastercam engrave module do aswell.

    I't possible to do this? Anyone know how to do this? or where can I found information?

    Thanks again

    Jauki

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm from Basque Country

    I have seen this video before but, whit this function I can only route along vector with a constant z from top level (text in this case) but want I want it's carve with a different Z level depending of the thick of the letter and the angle of the bit.

    I send you a picture to see closer what i say.

    Thanks again
