older Plasmacam program that doesn't do it.

Corel can do it. What font and font size is it and what are your oval dimensions?

Can you use the font that is above the oval? If not something close to it will do.
Thanks so much,

Not sure if this is what you wanted, about 10x17.

Just playing around, so thought I would try...more time than money..

Super easy to do in Corel.

Here is a video that shows exactly how to do it.

If you send me the .dxf file I will do it in Design Edge and send it back as a .dxf...then you can convert it to whatever format you want. It takes a couple of seconds in Design Edge (the latest PlasmaCam)

Jim you are killing me with this PlasmaCAM thing . . . . lol lol lol I am trying to resist . . .

I'm caught between TRACKER, DYNATORCH . . . trying to ignore Pcam as much as I can, but you do make it difficult . .
