Hi there, I have looked through the forums, and i know what i need to do, yet can't find an answer on how to do it. I want to do some lettering for signage, and i can use Deskengrave (for example) to make the letters. Fine no problems, can bring that into parts editor and constraints etc, and get it to show the machined letters when finished. Now as it is already known, doing this will delete any islands in a given word, eg an "e" will be missing the semi circlular part in the letter, and so will other letters with islands. So the answer to this is to split the letters.
How do i split the letters? That is what i need to know and can't find an answer to. I have autocad, so if someone clould guide me through the steps it would be appreciated.
Regards
Jason

Hi Jason
Look at this Zip File
I just came in from the shop I will be gone at 4:15 am put I sure be back about 6:00 pm.
You have to break your letter in to all lines. Then put the lines( when you put the lines always to 2)
So when you put the lines back into (2-groups you will need then to make the 2-groups)
