If AutoCAD is under the same free licensing for students and small cap businesses, it could work out.

That might be worth pursuing, I have AutoDesk 360 but it's overly complicated for my present skillset. opf (open path) font extension is recognized only by Make The Cut® () to have a clean single line font with curved lines that only trace once. FeatureCAM 2014, Make the Cut (), Rhinoceros® (), Text Sketcher® (), SolidWorks 2014 (), Visualmill®, & WoodWOP2014 ()currently have a "single line font" feature that will correctly draw this font format. It requires that the software provider make a simple adjustment to ensure that the 'OC' font files are rendered correctly. OC- The 'OC' format for open curve uses bezier curves & traces only once. The SP format does require that curves be made up of lines, and thus far has been confirmed to be effective in Camworks® () and SolidCam.

SP- The 'SP' format will contain (SP) in the name, for straight path, is more specialized and is designed to trace the path only once.

This format should work with most programs. Universal- The universal font format has curved single line shapes designed to have minimal lifts, but your machine will likely trace the path twice. There does seem to exist single stroke fonts that will trace only once, but they require the program to accept them, they are not universal.Įach font/s you purchase will include 4 TTF font files: Is there such a thing as a font that is truly a single line, that can be used in place of standard fonts? It's not an inconsequential purchase, but it could take a time consuming job and streamline it considerably as well as open up lots of new business. Even as basic as the software is that came with my fiber, it can handle auto-generating serial numbers and it has stick/single line fonts just for this purpose. What material are you marking? if it's something a fiber could handle then you might want to consider a new machine for this purpose. I'm fairly certain software will get the job done cheaper, just need to find the right one. A very nice guy at livinfrared said a meniscus lens might give me a little improvement because the plano-convex used is sloppy by comparison, but before I plunk down $250 for a lens I'd like to be sure it's a solution. Mike Null has a fiber project brewing that I've put my name in on, just have to see what he's cooking up and the time frame, for now software will have to do. I only need a slight improvement to make them better, I believe a single-stroke font would do the trick. I'd like to stay married:D For now I'm hoping to nail down a software because it's probably out there, just buried under a lot of hassle to find. I'm entertaining that route, the parts I currently do won't support the expense so those new lines of business would have to open up rather quickly.
