When routing boards, How can I route or engrave text on the board?

I suppose i could make a library part with copper pads that are the text?

Hi @markY6RWE ,

So sorry for our late response.

Not sure whether you have been aware of our new feature about supporting True Text Font in Fusion 360 Electronics now (version 2.0.9142 and above)? You could get more information from recent what's new: https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/blog/october-2020-product-update-whats-new/ 

Not sure whether this answers your question or not?

Please feel free to let us know if need our further assistant.

Regards,

Helen

What i am looking for is how to put text on the board I can route (engrave text into copper) not a silk screen layer.

Hi @markY6RWE 

I hope you are doing well! 

For your question, I think you can just change the layer of text to Top Layer (or Bottom Layer).

And you can choose the Ignore Violators mode in the nevigation bar so that it will allow you to engrave text on the copper.

And if you want to Route with text, then the way you mentioned that add pad for text in libary may work.

If I misunderstand something, please leave your comment and let us know. Thanks!
