AutoCAD Inventor :: Engraving Text Outline Into Solid With V Shaped Engraving Bit?

Jan 12, 2012

Most engravings into solids are done in real life with a V shaped engraving bit along a text outline.  Having come from a very dated Inventor 7, I was hoping my new Inventor Professional 2012 edition would be able to tackle this with ease.  I thought the embossing of text would provide what was needed, but the emboss feature only seems to engrave the solid of the text and not an outline of text.  With no luck there, I decided to import an AutoCAD text outline onto the surface of my model and try to sweep the tool shape over the path.  I’ve been successful only with text that is composed of straight lines.  Any text shape with an arc or line segments is frustrating me like crazy.

I’ve attached a file showing my successful engraving over some letters of the text.  This is my desired output.When trying to sweep the tool path along the “R” in the model, an error comes up saying: The attempted operation resulted in the creation of a self-intersecting surface.  Try with different inputs.

When trying to sweep the tool path along the “C” in the model, it actually displays a preview of the end result; however, a different error comes up saying: The attempted operation had problems trimming and discarding faces.  Try with different inputs.

GIMP :: How To Add Textures And Transparency To Layer

Nov 25, 2013

I'd like to achieve an effect similar to the one shown here:

[URL]

What I need to do...

1.) Take screenshots of various pages of code (did this)
2.) Use masks (or maybe not) to apply some sort of texture behind each screenshot
3.) Use a perspective effect to rotate each page of code to varying extents
4.) Use masks and transparency (or maybe not?) to paste the pages on top of each other in layers

I should be looking up and combining to get there, and with other specifics.

Regarding (1), do I want to capture screenshots of black text on a white background? Or, the reverse? Regarding (2) and (4), are these right?

GIMP :: Generating Patterns / Textures On Image

Apr 19, 2012

Is there a way to select a portion of an image, and create patterns/textures that fill the selection?

If yes, is there the option of using my own images as the pattern/texture to be used? And is there the option to fill the selection either randomly or pattern-like? 'Noise' is not what I'm looking for.

GIMP :: Parallel / Cloned / Twin Layers For Tiled Textures?

Jul 3, 2013

I'm currently using GIMP for making textures for a 3D game. These textures are drawn by hand and making those "tileable" is a bit awkward most of the time. There's all sorts of manual methods but I'm wondering if there's something that will take care of this in real time. Anyway what I'm looking for:

Is there a way to create layer groups which contain the very same layers at different locations? Or displaying the same layer group in two places next to each other? So stuff I draw in one place is "cloned" in real time to another layer or group? What I want is the ability draw seamlessly, so when I draw at or past the layer borders on the bottom I automatically draw at the top border.

I can kinda achieve this manually either by offsetting a layer or by making the layer bigger in size than the texture I want and then cutting and pasting the details beyond the actual texture size to the opposite side. But those are very awkward procedures, especially when working with many layers that have to be drawn and edited separately. Is there maybe some automated feature that takes care of this for me in real time?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Laser Engraving

Mar 4, 2013

I just upgraded from x4 to x5 and have had a couple issues with how the new install of x5 is working with my Laser Engraver (Epilog Legend 36EXT 120w)

1) When I used to run jobs at 300dpi the quality was fine (with some pixelation near the edges of the engraving) now when I engrave at 300 dpi I notice that the image is dithered and looks "polka dotted", Is there a way to fix this?  

2) When I send over an image with a C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:0 white background, whereas it used to see this as "No not laser this" space, now it will laser the actual background as a percentage of black (which is not much, but it still does engrave and ruins the product as the box ends up being visible)  I know that I can change the 0 0 0 0 white to a transparent and that will fix the issue, it's just that my jobs are all saved with the 0 0 0 0 background and if I forget to change to transparent, I end up ruining items.  Is there a way I can define to Corel not to print white?

AutoCad :: Text Engraving In R14?

Oct 21, 2012

I’m using Acad R14 and made the control panel for my cnc with various square / round openings for the pushbuttons and the letters describing the function of each button. The control panel is a piece of aluminum 8.5”x21”x1/8” and includes openings / letters for 16 buttons.

Everything turns out good but have problem engraving the letters because the tool takes more steps than necessary to engrave each letter; for example to do the letter “O” it does the top part and then it does the bottom part and normally this should have been one operation.

I wonder if there is a setting in R14 to optimize the text or perhaps a font that is better for engraving than others. Now I’m using either Arial or Verdana 1/4" high

In addition, when I export my file to DXF, the options are ASCII or Binary and I choose ASCII and the Decimal Places range is 0-16 and I choose 6.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Engraving On A Sphere

I have a sphere which I'm able to project on a sketch of smaller circles which I'd like to engrave over it's surface, yet I want each of them to be perpendicular to the surface of the sphere in each point. Emboss doesn't do the trick, it just makes the engraving perpendicular to the plane.

CorelDRAW X3 :: Using With Laser Engraving Machine To Cut Paper

May 20, 2013

I am trying to cut paper on my laser engraver from a design on X3.  It works but the engraver is cutting out the design.  I want it to cut out the background and leave the design intact.  I know this can be done and there is probably some very simple thing I am overlooking but I just cannot seem to wrap my brains around it.

For this to work how I want it, I have to change the X3 design to have a "negative" effect, as the engraver recognizes the black so background must be black and the actual design left white.

I tried to convert my design to a bitmap, but then it loses integrity and lines become pixelated. So other than this I am not sure how to get the background black.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Emboss Failing For Engraving

Oct 2, 2012

The subject basically says it all. I am trying to emboss two words onto a solid model. Unfortunately it keeps failing. I am copying this model off of U-Tube models "LED LAMP"

Try and use the emboss feature and engrave the words "LED LAMP" On the centre of the top of my solid model part. Top View reads vertically going up the way.

Please edit part 8. Then start the Emboss process. 1/64 = Depth. Flat White colour. Following the video on youtube they use engrave from face then reverse the direction the arrow points towards the model. Then OK. That's the way I am showed  it and I can't get it to engrave.
