    Carving Signs

    Is it possible to have BobCAD v21 create a 3D 'carved' background with CNC router for a sign?

    It will have raised letters and boarder.

    If so, how? If not, suggestions? Oh yeah, money is an object..... ;-)

    If money is an object go to http://www.alibre.com/ and down load the free Xpress Version of Alibre. Then look into a CAM Software like BCC. Make sure you try a Demo of different CAM packages so you can decide what is best for you and what works best for your needs:rainfro:.

    I already have V21 so will the Alibre Software help in putting carving texture into the artwork?
