Raised text in pocket

[Dale Yeager]

How would I create a raised text, or other pattern in a pocket? V8.0-8.5

[FixitMike]

Draw a pocket outline around the text Select both the text and outline and apply a VCarve or profile toolpath. You will have a pocket cut leaving raised text.

Further to FixitMike's post. The attached images shows a two-level raised text in pocket.

The material is 3/4" thick. The top of the "T" is at 1/4" depth and the bottom of the pocket (yellowish colour) is at 1/2" depth.

Two toolpaths were created:
1. using only the vector in the "pocket" layer (depth 1/4")
2. using vectors in the "pocket" and "T" layers (depth 1/2")

I did this with VCarve as I don't have Cut2D installed anymore so posting the VCarve file might not be of use if Cut2D can't import it.

Thanks guys, work great with one change. In Cut 2D, after selecting both the box and text, I had to use pocket path, not profile.

Yes, that is the way to do it in VCarve, too. I blame my keyboard dyslexia.

Do you mean "lesdyxia"?
