Stacked Text
Is their someone that could help me with Stacked Text. I'm missing a step and I cant figure this one out. I can do the top text right I think but the bottom text eats it all the way. Thanks in advance

Re: Stacked Text
Hello jpmreno
I am not sure what you have done but I got it to work by deleting the test tool paths.
I then recalculated the bottom text then the top text. The recalculate button does not seem to work right for some reason.
I had to double click the bottom text and pick the border and the bottom text and calculate and then do the top text.
This seems to work. I hope this is some help.

Re: Stacked Text
You've saved that as an Aspire file. You'll need to save it as a VCarve file for the OP to be able to open it.

The "trick" is that you have to convert the text to curves and then combine (weld) the top and bottom text together for the lower cut. When you use the weld tool, you have to deselect interior holes such as occur in the letters O, P, and R. You can also do this with a bit of work with the trim tool.jpmreno wrote:Is their someone that could help me with Stacked Text. I'm missing a step and I cant figure this one out.

Do your top text first ,then don't forget to weld them for the sec toolpath, I watced the video 10 times and now I can do stacked text finally. the video will get you there.
