dxf, letters, and signs

Post by Marcel Thibodeau »

Hi guys,
I Had a request for a sign to be made for the town I live in. Its definatly out of my norm and really have no idea how to proceed. I have the file in DXF but of course the thickness is an issue, but i'm sure there must be an easy way to convert or modify the dxf so it will cut on the machine. Can anyone help me out here or at least point me in the right direction.

Thanks

if you look in control nesting help, you can search for dxf layer names. This will explain how to add layers and layer names to the dxf file so control nesting will cut it correctly.
