I've been using DesignCAD 3D Max, ver. 25 for about a year. It is the only CAD I've every used. Recently, I've been making a drawing of balsa sheet patterns to be laser cut. One of the laser company's specifications for file submission was that text to be etched on the surface instead of the cutting, should be in .SHX format, which is suppose to be a vector format. When I setup the text box there was a choice for "true type" font or "vector" font. I chose the vector font. But when the laser company did the work, they told me they went ahead and changed the "raster" text to the .SHX vector text before doing the cut. The laser company used TurboCAD and apparently that supports .SHX text format. The laser company did suggest that they believe there is a work-around in DesignCAD to use the .SHX format. Does anyone know of or heard of this work-around as I plan to make more laser cutting drawings.
Thanks!
