CAD-KAS - Font 2 DXF and G-Code 3.1

Post by tomloewen »

Are any of you guys familiar with CAD-KAS software?

I purchased their software, Font 2 DXF and G-Code 3.1 and it appears to produce good quality dxf fonts, but I'm having trouble setting the parameters to produce letters in an arch. I keep adjusting the parameters and either nothing happens or weird stuff happens. I know I ain't the smartest fella but I figure this should not be a difficult thing to do. :oops: I think I'm just missing one small step. Can someone help with this?

I do my dxf drawings in Draftsight, and using Font 2 DXF, I can turn ANY font into a dxf font, then copy it into my drawing, and then rotate and place each letter as needed. But I'm sure that Font 2 DXF can do that for me with a lot more precision . . . or so I think.
Thanks,
Tom

I purchased and use their Stencil Fonts program and it works well. It does not do anything special like curves, etc. just creates fonts in dxf format and stencils them if you want to.

Sorry, not familiar with the Font 2 dxf program.
