Hello fellow Acad users
 
I'm having trouble cutting text symbols on our CNC plasmacutting machine - in short i need text to act like a drawing file. I tried to use .shx texting but that did not resolve the problem .
 
Any ideas anyone ?
 
best regards
 
BJ

There is an Express Tools command to do this, although I believe it is based on wmfout/wmfin technique also.

Hi,
   there is an 'explode text' in the express menu. Explode the text, trim all the lines out then remove duplicate objects ( in express menu, modify).
 
 ready to cut.
