I have Aspire 11 and an Axiom Pro machine. I am looking to machine the name part of this picture (Flavio) see how the letters are all connected? I would assume it is 3 levels? I have not done this type of machining before any suggested videos that cover a similar type of thing? I need to do two with the names Whit and Rand for the top of a birthday cake.

Yes, you'll need to draw your vectors so you can machine things out in layers to create that effect. It's not all that hard...you just have to think it through and pretend you are the machine. :) Start from the top and work your way down.

Something I whipped up quickly for you to have a look at.

Things like this get weird the more levels deep you go (see contour map below). Keeping an account of which level you are on and which vectors are needing to pocket between gets hairy.
