In this tutorial we will try to machine a single line of text composed of letters and
numbers. For this example we have chosen the text “CIMCO 123”.
Normal upper and lower case letters, numbers, and characters can be entered when
the icon
is clicked.
The dialog Text Entry appears to the left. In the input field at the bottom named
text, enter the text that will be machined. In this example “CIMCO 123”.
In addition to the text five additional parameters are needed to specify start point,
baseline angle, letter distance and letter height. Fill in the fields with the values from
