Problems engraving text

Anonymous

Hi all,

 

My understanding is text on a curve in F360 isn't straightforward. I sketched this is another program and imported it into F360 as a dxf. After extruding etc. the contours of the circles are obviously easy to create tool paths for but I can't work out how to engrave the text. I keep getting errors using both Engrave and 2D Contour.

 

Could someone assist with a resolution? Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

If you were trying to do this with the ball endmill, that would have been the source of your failure. For engraving toolpaths, there are only a few tool types that are valid: chamfer tools, countersinks and spot drills.

 

Select "Engrave" toolpath. Select contours as needed. Hit the OKAY button
