Help with text cutout, please!

Post by livetooextreme »

Hi All,
I'm doing a simple rectangle sign with the saying below for a friend. Problem is, I'm not so good at text. I'm using a plasmacam but I only have the older software and it stinks at text. I would definitely appreciate any help from the expert folks on here that could probably make this a quick breeze.

"ISU Alumni –

-Donated by the Centennial Class of 2017"

The number of lines doesn't matter. Just whatever looks good. Open to any font recommendations, too. Sign dimensions will be approximately 2.5 feet wide by 1.5 feet tall - or whatever size needed to make it easy enough to cut (without being too large). 12 guage HR. I'm using HT PowerMax 45 on a plascam 4x4 hc2. Kerf is apprx 0.045".

Thanks in advance!

This looks great! Thank you so much! Anyway you can put this in a format for the older Plasmacam 3.11 software? The new DesignEdge PCM files don't work with the older version. Or DXF would work, too.
