how to make stick text that i can cam to

i would like to make simple "stick" text that i can cam to, does anyone know how to do this. i currently made stick letters in autocad, then have to arrange them to make whatever part number out of them, then import into inventor.

this is very time consuming but it is what our customer wants.

I just use "Simplex" font and then engrave it with the HSM "Trace" function and set "Stock to Leave (Axial)" to -.015 (or whatever depth I want it engraved)

Works perfect

Thanks, but that does not work the way i want it too. The video i found show him making cutter path exactly the way i would like. Just do not know where to get that add in, it does not show up in AUTODESK apps.
