Engraving Text (hacking it using an SVG)

As far as I know engraving text, a "simple" feature is not yet available(please correct me in wrong). So as a hack, I tried importing an SVG of the text I want. See attached "S".  This kind of works but when it comes to the CAM (using Trace) I have to hand select every tiny little segment of every letter. In this case the S alone has about 15 segments. I believe because of this, the generated toolpath keeps retracting (keep down is on). Obviously all I want it a single line toolpath.  Help is appreciated thanks.

Hi,

 

Similar problem with DXF.

 

I'm really starting to get frustrated with the inability to engrave text.

The suggested work arounds do not appear to work.

some fonts don't work well in fusion yet and it depends on the OS you are useing, post a file that is failing on you.
