V Carve Flat Depth

Post by Beltramidave »

When using the Flat Depth option when Vcarving, will all text be carved to the flat depth setting or is that the max depth allowed and it is still based on the width of the font lines? I usually group different sized fonts together and I don't necessarily want the small text to be engraved so deep, but may want to limit larger text to a set depth.

Any text where the width of the lines is wide enough to cause the vbit to drop to the level of the flat depth will stop at that depth. If the lines are too close together to allow the vbit to go that deep, then the vcarving will cut as normal.

Thank you, that is how I thought it should work.
