engrave then cut on newly draw

Post by graham jimmison »

I'm new to the newly draw software and struggling a little with engraving. What i'm trying to do is a simple key ring project. Pupils engrave their name or text then cut it out. Pupils are designing their key ring in techsoft 2d design first.
if i export as a dxf - when i import it into newly draw the text isn't filled
if i export the file as a wmf th etext is filled but i can't get newly draw to cut the out line
Any one help ?

Hi Graham,
We have used Newlydraw for 3 months.
Where you change cut to scan to the right of the box there is a mode box.
Change this to mode 1 this should fill the lettering in.
Try the other modes.
Are you savong the text as filled or unfilled from 2D ?
This could make a difference
Then to cut and engrave click on: edit and select all .
This will perform cut and engrave.
Hope this helps
