problem exporting texts

toninotoner
hi
first thank for your time and your jobs
so... i'm trying to create some 35x10mm boxes with text inside. everything is ok in librecad but when i open the same dxf file with pycam or others cam programs no text appear, only boxes or other designs are ok. Why?
i tried to explode text in singles characteres but zero results... any ideas? thanks

I don' t know what problem you have, but you can explode letters into primitive entities (lines, arcs, etc).

Select letters and simply choose explode from Modification menu.

hi krzych, if I try to explode letters they become not made of a single line but many small ones.
example letter "L" appear like a vertical line and an horizontal one, when i need to mill it the machine made up/down twice. sorry for my english...

Hi Rallaz, i use xubuntu 12.04 - kernel 3.2.0.36 - pycam 0.5.1 - librecad 2.0.0beta1
pycam convert everithing but text. it has problems looking for text libraries.
the problem in not only in pycam but also in other CAM programs i use in windows
