I'm looking to create a single stroke of text by a letter at a time. I need the letter to be 3 inches tall. Can you guide me to a single stroke letter in Corel?

thx - Bugs

Just found it and was successful in beveling the text. I will try on the laser tomorrow. Time for sleep.

So what happened? Did it work?

It's of limited application, but if you create single stroke text, you can take the laser out of focus by an inch or two and vector the stroke. It will create a wide, v-shape cut into the material.

Yup I have used this method to create templates for the pantograph. Once testing finds the right height for the perfect groove, the stylus follows it as well as the stylus follows the brass master type.
