    Text Layout in Mach 2?

    I'm brand new at this... I tried the search function and could not find an answer.

    When I try to import text files into Mach 2 running a homemade 3-axis machine (for signmaking), it will not accept them. "Too much vector information" or something like that is the error message.

    Machine works brilliantly on 2-D designs layed out right into Mach 2. Haven't gotten into 3-D yet.

    Any ideas?

    What are the files created in? Are they .dxf? Could you post an example here?
