Re: How to make rectangle with text
Hello giant44256 - welcome to the forum!
place it into your drawing,
create a text with the "Text" tool - make sure the Alignment is "Middle center",
then place this text into the rectangle. If you like to have this text in the center of the rectangle you can use the snap tool "Middle manual" to snap to the middle of the rectangle,
select the text and use the "Explode" tool to break it down into lines. I believe only on that way your cam can read the text,
Convey it to your cam software - create the gcode - feed your cnc with it - cut your workpiece. Done!
