I'm designing a poster for a play and loved the stuff I saw in the stone wall forum and I'd like to do something like an ancient engraved stone (egyptian era ) You know, chiseled into the stone. I'll post what I have but I need some advice. Is there a way to get the engraving to show up better? I used the emboss mask but I'm just not satisfied. Any ideas?
View 2 RepliesMost 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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.
I'm creating a level for a 3D game, and I'd like to use self-made textures for that one. A part of the level is supposed to take place on the outsides of an old castle. So I need a stone floor that looks old, a little dirty and bumpy.
I've folowed a few tutorials, and I made pretty nice things, but I can't seem to make the stones look more realistic. If you take this example (not created by me)
You'll see that the stones have very subtle cracks and scratches, and that it looks dirty (notice the greenish moss growing on it, darker patches here and there, etc)
I want stones that have similar effects. Can anyone tell me how to make that greenish moss effect and how to make outside stone floors look dirtier and older in general?
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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.

Is there a better file format within Corel X5 to fill a graphic or font to accomplish this task?

Just trying to figure out the best way in animation a block of stone being chiseled away. So the stone would be chipping away piece by piece, one after another. Is there a way to treat a polymesh so that peices can break off of it in a controlled manner? I have tried pro-boolean but it is not to effective for multiple pieces.

I'm having a problem here with hatching in AutoCAD 2000. The existing hatch patterns doesn't fulfill my needs and I need something more specific to hatch a cobble stone area. In my aCAD hatch patterns there's not a good hatch for it and I looked that I can do my own pattern using Notepad etc. but unfortunately I don't have a time to do that.
So, my question is: Is there any simple ways to create your own hatch patterns for example like in Microstation where it is very easy to do. There is an option that I can use cells (blocks in ACAD) as hatch patterns.
Or can I maybe download a custom *.pat file from somewhere and use it?

I can't get clips to render to the stone in the background. I am running 2012 SP2. I looked and the Backburner version is 2013.

Im doing a 3D design of kerb stone which includes a pedestrian ramp.
Please refer to my picture.
The kerb stone I have issues with is the one I have provided dimensions for. From the right edge, the height of the stone is 225mm, then is slopes down to 110mm. But what I could acchive is that the right 100mm I have shown is meant to be 75mm which the back stays at 110mm. Is there a way I can achieve this?
I drew a stone wall with the free hand tool and used a 1.0 line width, but since the ends of the lines are square I have jagged edges in places. I tried using the eraser but as soon as I let go of the mouse button what I erased pops back. I was thinking about converting to a bit map and smooth it out that way, but I need it as a vector file. So after I convert it and clean it up can I convert it back?
