Centerline Text ?

Hello,

in FC TurnMill I'd like to engrave a text on a workpiece. I know there is a way to create a curve from text but afaik this way only outputs the outline of the text. For my purpose what I need is the centerline as a curve. 

Is there a way to get a centerline curve from a text?

 

Alternative: has anyone a working xbuild postprocessor and an UCF that works with Sinumerik 840DSL Cycle60?

 

Cheers,
Matthias

Hi 

 

You need to use the machine tool fonts...

Thanks a lot! I've seen and tested these machine tool fonts before but didn't test the output of the Sans Serif one.
