Hello guys, I'm writting in english cause my german is not good enough for the problem I have. I would like to write a 3d text on a solid model which has only one line. Why? I would like to import the 3D model from Solid Edge to my Cam system which is called SylviExpert (www.sylviexpert.ch). I don't find the way to do it and I also don't find a font which has only one line. It has always a double line and I don't want it. I would like to engrave the text on my swiss type Tornos machine with a simple centering tool and not with a milling tool. Thanks for your help,

Cédric, SE will only use TTf fonts and these are usually outline fonts which do have double lines. I don't know of any single stroke font with no fill. IIRC someone did found such a font but SE did not like it i.e does nothing. The only workaround I can offer is this (submitted by Rick within UGS BBS) [cite] I use a simple hand-drawn 'font' (well, collection of characters) and copy/ paste them by hand. It's actually quite quick once you get into rhythm ... Rick. [/cite] /Edit can't you do it from within yor CAM program? One guy did it this way: [cite] "Sadly and pathetically I had to use Mastercam to generate geometry that is useable for engraving." [/cite] not a very elegant way but ... Klaus

Ok, Next step, next proble. I used AlphaCam to write my text with only one line and I exported it as a geometry in Solid Edge. I placed the text on my volume but when I export the model in .sat for my CAD-CAm system the text does not appear, why? I also tryed to projec the text on my volume and then to group them and it seems to be better when I open it for exemple with TransMagic them I see the text but in SylvieXpert not, why? I gues I need some more help but I keep on trying. Thanks for your help ------------------ Cédric Curty Eine Antwort auf diesen Beitrag verfassen (mit Zitat/Zitat des Beitrags) IP |

Cédric, first: you're using V20 but an academic license. Those files can only be opened with an academic license. The .sat file is OK and the text does appear. Why the text of that .sat does not appear in your 'SylvieXpert' is not an SE problem you have to ask the vendor of that piece of software. Note, however that placing just a text on a surface (sketch) SE will not export that sketch into the resulting neutral format.

Well, I know that SylvieXpert is working with the Acis kernel. I'm asking myself if the conversion from SE is really clean! Why? Cause the technicien I'm wroking with (which developpes SylvieXpert) has never any problem like I have when I want to import file in SX.He is using Onespace Designer as CAD system and it's working perfectly. At the beginning I thought well I'm new with the technologie I have to learn I must do something wrong but after more than two years of using SE and doing all the updates, I've got alwas less problems in my every day project with SX and SE. About your last sentence: Note, however that placing just a text on a surface (sketch) SE will not export that sketch into the resulting neutral format. What would you suggest in the technical way of building my project to solve my problem? And of course on monday I'm going to try to get an answer from the team SX. Thanks for your help and for your time.

Cédric, the text on the .sat is there and I can convert the .sat to a .par file in SE. The text itself seems to be a segmented curve (splines). It might be the case that your software either can' interpret it or you have to set some specific options. I can't give any suggestions for I do not have the particular software and so I'm unable to verify. What I've done is import your .sat save it as part export it as .sat again and reimport as .par -- the text is still there. Export done with ACIS 7.0 and options 'Export wires ..' set. Hint: when the latter option is not set the text will not be exported. Klaus ------------------ Lieber Fehler riskieren als Initiative verhindern (R. Mohn) [Diese Nachricht wurde von modeng am 04.

Ok, thanks I will contact the developper of SX. It must come from the kernel ACIS. I will have to dig it out these days. We stay in contact, ok. When I get an answer I will let you know. ------------------ Cédric Curty Eine Antwort auf diesen Beitrag verfassen (mit Zitat/Zitat des Beitrags) IP |

Hi, Back from my search to inform you that UGS does not make any effort to solve my problem. I asked the Swiss office for my problem and they are stuck like me. It's really sad that a company like UGS is not able to add a single line font with Solidedge..... I hope since the germans took over that it's going to change. So I'm asking again: Who knows a simple line font for Solidedge? Thanks for your help..... Cédric:) :) ------------------ Cédric Curty Eine Antwort auf diesen Beitrag verfassen (mit Zitat/Zitat des Beitrags) IP |

Hi, you may check < Fontshop in Berlin > maybe they have such a font to offer. What they can do, I'm pretty sure, create such a font for you (when that's possible at all). The only program I know of that is using single line fonts is TeX and LaTeX but they are not usable with windows. Klaus ------------------ Lieber Fehler riskieren als Initiative verhindern (R.
