    Single line font

    Hi.

    I am not sure if this has been addressed but I am wondering if I could take my signature and change it to a DXF or some such so that I could machine it as a single line. when I try it now there are two lines.

    Thanks,

    Ernie

    Yeah, the vectorization tool recognizes each transition from black to white as a line, so a thin line vectorizes as two parallel lines. Easiest thing to do is just manually delete one of the lines.

    Hey trotline,

    Do you see the red spot on my forehead? That is where I slapped myself. I never would have thought of that. I will try it tomorrow.
    Thanks,

    Re: Single line font

    Google search CamBam Stick Fonts, a handy set of single line fonts free to download.
    I'm working on an elegant way to make single line fonts which look right from True Type Fonts, it is a bit of a faff but it will give a true representation with a single line, something deleting geometry does not do on anything but the simplest fonts.
