I have been trying to figure out how to engrave a simple stick type font for part numbers and am failing miserably. I have provided a sample picture of what I am trying to do. But I need to project this onto a surface and I cannot do that with the macro I have made for flat objects. Which is how I did the sample in the picture.
Typically I go to tools, sketch entities and then use text to do this. But I do not like the block style letters I get. So I did some research and I have found out the OLF sans is a simple stick type font. Problem is it is not recognized when I try to project it onto the surface with mastercam. I normally use a contour tool path and turn off lead in/out as well as cutter comp and it gives me what I want on a flat part. on a surface I use the project toolpath and select curves as the source. But for some reason I cannot select the OLF sans font as a curve. Does anyone have a simple solution?
