Kerning
A few weeks ago I posted the problem of collapsing words when attempting to space the letters. A response I received, was to post photos of my problem attached are those photos. Any suggestions in resolving this issue is greatly appreciated.

Hi Steve,
Please post the actual file. A file is vastly more helpful than just screenshots. Thanks!

Re: Kerning
Successfully uploaded screenshots of my problem, no small feat on my part never did it before. Now on to step two, you wii have to step down the instructions for saving the tool path file in question then upload said file to the forum and post it.

Re: Kerning
Right - just post your actual .crv (or crv3d) file.
In case you don’t know...when you save your layout file from Aspire, it has the file extension .crv3d
If the Aspire file consists of only vectors, you can opt to save it as a .crv file (which is the same filetype as VCarve software).
No need to Toolpath it in this case, as it has nothing to do with the letter spacing problem you are having.

Re: Kerning
What is your version of Aspire? I had some weird happenings when I kerned with an older version of VCarve Pro. Problem has gone away with Version 9.5.

Re: Kerning
That file was created with 8.517. The text side of the product has been completely revised in 9.5 so those folding issues have gone.

Re: Kerning
I loaded the file into Aspire v8.517 and added color to the tool paths. This is the result:
