This is the back plot, it may be easier to see what's going on rather than the trace path.Hello! I'm doing some work with an engraving machine and need to use special single-line stick fonts, instead of the usual closed-path outline fonts.

Here's the universal test font using trace. The universal font appears to post a whole bunch of segments rather than arcs, but if I understand the OC version correctly that would be corrected if the fonts were made native. Based on what I see on the forum there may be a workaround, but I’ll need to see the other letters to know for sure.' Can you provide me with a screenshot of all the letters in the sample font: A.B,C,D,a,b,c,d,1,2,3. I will definitely encourage you to make a ruckus so that AutoDesk might contact me for some help adding an ideal single line font feature. I thought Fusion 360 had single line font support, but apparently not. While searching to see what single line font features Fusion has I came across your recent post on the forum. 'I’m surprised the OC format is in a way working for you, though with an added step. I was amazed how quickly he responded to my query. In any case he wanted a pic of the letters ABCDabcd123 for reference. I was mistaken, the font I was using was the universal, not the OC. Hopefully this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions. Why would you prefer to not do so? The other option, for now, could be to draw centerlines in the outline fonts and use the manually sketched entities to drive your CAM toolpaths.

In the meantime, the easiest workaround (if you do not have access to a Windows machine) would be to use an Engraving toolpath, which will use a single line/pass for cutting the letters whether or not the text is exploded. We are aware of the current limitations when working with text in Fusion 360 and will be looking at improving text in Fusion in a future update. They did explode as single line fonts, however, on my PC.īecause of this inconsistency, I have logged a report (FUS-32414) with our development team to look further into this issue.

Hi for posting! I tested out the CamBam font today, as well as a single-line CNC vector font, and found that neither was shown accurately or exploded as a single line font in Fusion when I tested on my Mac.
