Text


The Text toolbar lets you draw two kinds of letters: simple letters and TrueType letters. The simple letters are like the letters used on drawings. These letters can be used to mill, for instance, a part number on a part. The TrueType letter is more artistic, and any TrueType font installed in the Windows operating system can be used.
