Number, Letter, and Symbol Patterns

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm working on a project in which I would like to cut out some letters, numbers, and symbols with my CNC plasma cutter. I have AutoCAD 2012 Student Version and I was wondering if there was a way to do that on my .dwg file without drawing them out manually??? Is that a function of the program, or can I download them from some place with for instance different font styles and the like?

Thanks!

You can go here and get the app.

Hi,

when you have the ExpressTools installed (free part within AutoCAD) then you have a command _TXTEXP, that creates outlines from text-objects, which are based on true-type-fonts.
