This is a handy little program that does a good job and it is free! It is called DeskEngrave.

I use Corel version 11. Sometimes I have to use the TRIM TOOL to hold the centers of the O's in though.

I am using desk engrave but find it not to user friendly when it comes to eclips thought some body might have some good reviews on some other software out there. I also find ms word has some good features but does let you save it to a dxf.

I use Corel Draw 9. It allows me to use any Windows font thats currently installed on my computer and then export as a DXF. I can easilly add text to any design or part quickly but it is a pain to attach the centers of the O's B's R's etc. Not much you can do about that though.

I bought the 10,000 font collection for under $20 and found many fonts that are plasma friendly to install on my PC. Check it out here http://www.plasmaspider.com/shop/detail_font.html
