Just to show you that I used your DXF also switcher. Cut much more quickly and the DXF looked great at that small size.

Can you send attachments or images in a PM?

[Switcher]

Gravy,

Great job!

Thanks for posting, the finished part. :cheers:

I don't think we can add attachments, to a PM.

You could make book ends with these, shoe your horse, or throw them etc.

(Don't throw them at a president) :nono:

I'm looking for a rustic cabin dxf file with perhaps a mountain or tree background for a customer. If anyone has one it would be appreciated and the favor returned.

Thanks All.

Mlind...

Here is one I did in steel... Cabin not sure if that is what you are looking for or not, last photo. I have another one as well, will try to find it...

Another Cabin.

Here is one I'm working on..

1/2 way thorugh I decided it wasn't what I was looking for. Perhaps someone else can use it. OOPs it was a .cb file OK converted it to .dxf... Lets try that again...

(Smile),

I just bought a new planer about a month ago and guess what...3 boards ran through it and BLAM!!! It broke the belt drive pulley... NOT THE BELT the PULLEY split in 1/2 and I wasn't even pushing the planer hard. So being the good natured person I am I looked at the manufacturing label...MADE IN CHINA... Well there ya go. Returned it and bought one made in Canada...Now we are cooking with GAS... Should have known better. LESSON LEARNED NUMBER 1.

A week ago with a new set of drill bits I was drilling into WOOD and guess what...I couln' t believe it. IT BENT while drilling into WOOD... My good nature totally disappeared when I found out it was made in CHINA TOO. Marketed here in the states. LESSON LEARNED NUMBER 2 I now look for that HORRIBLE LABEL before buying any tools.

TO honor China's quality control I made this nice sign for them and so far I have made and given away about 3-4 of them. Feel free to distribute this sign and or use it as you see fit. My personal vendetta on China made goods.

Lesson learned.....

Here are a couple of rustic cabin scenes that I like to use.

You could engrave this on a piggy bank or make your own money clip.

What is a good stick (single line) font to use with inkscape? I have stick40 installed but inkscape does not show it in the list.

What is a good stick (single line) font to use with inkscape? I have stick40 installed but inkscape does not show it in the list.

I've never found a font that would do a single pixel line for Inkscape.

If you only have a few words/numbers that you need you can actually create a dxf from another font that is probably already on your PC, I used the Arial font on my PC, first type out what you need (I used the word, Hello), then zoom in on each letter & used the bezier tool to draw the single pixel lines. When your finished, delete the actual font then combine all your single pixel lines into a single object.

If you wanted to get real creative, you could do A-Z & 0-9, then save as an Inkscape .SVG, then anytime you need them for a project, just make a copy of the original .SVG.

I have stick40 installed but inkscape does not show it in the list.

I also find that Inkscape does not show all fonts that are in the Windows font file.

The fonts that Inkscape does not list seem to be those added to the font file after Inkscape was installed. This is not the case with programs such as Corel Draw & Word which recognize new font additions.

Perhaps a new installation of Inkscape would allow it to list all fonts on your system.
Just a suggestion as I have not yet tried this.

I didn't have any problem finding the new fonts on my PC (XP) inside Inkscape (0.46), they all show up fine. What happens is they are all messed up when you go to use them, I also found that its not just Inkscape, I had the same exact problem with Vectric Vcarve Pro, & MS Word.

I've tried at least 5 diff. fonts that are supposed to be single line fonts, my guess is that only certain programs are able to read them? All the fonts I've tried are TTF (True Type Fonts).
