    How do you round over letters?

    So I'm trying to do a recessed name in an ovel. No matter what font I use the letters come out straight up and down. Is there a way to round, arch or V the letters over?

    You can create 3D letters using "create shape from vectors"

    Or,

    You can use the prismatic toolpaths to create beveled letters.

    Or,

    You can use a roundover form tool to round over the edges of the letters.

    There are probably many other ways to do it.
