Yes Garrett still watching 42 minutes in. (Stopping to type this comment.) Spacing text didn't know about the control button when moving letters apart just the shift button. When in edit text spacing I use the selection mode under edit object rather than the escape button to get out of the edit text spacing. Now I know this tip. Ok now on to the text on a curve I've been using the circle cutting it in 2 halfs and ending up with a lot of difficult ways to get the text just right. I was not aware that an arc could be used instead. Thanks Now continue with the rest of the video. Freehand feature found out that it's part of my software. Thanks for showing me the freehand portion. Thanks for the review on the fillets Another amazing great video. Thanks

Regarding your question about letter spacing in VCarve, the feature to adjust letter spacing should be available in both the Desktop and Pro versions, though sometimes the interface can differ slightly. If you're not seeing the cursor option, it might be a setting or a version characteristic. Keep experimenting with the tools, and I hope you find the best method that works for you!

By the way, there is yet another key code, for the text, and that is the alt key, that is for the entire line to widen or to narrow the spacing . In stead of 2 characters it rules the entire line of text, For time saving it is faster to do it first on all the characters at once and then adjust the "mistakes" here and there. So alt shift left mouse click broadens all the spaces at once etc. Kind regards Hans

Garrett: First, thank you for all the videos and knowledge about CNC. Just getting into it all, and the videos are very informative and help out a lot. I took an Introductory class on CNC through our Woodworking Guild in Oregon and found your videos. With that, my question is, and I have not tried it yet, have you ever used a Stylus such as from Wacom Technology? They have digital tablets and displays that people use to design with Adobe Software, but also within CAD-based programs. As you noted in this video, you asked about using the Freehand tool that just came out in 11.5.x. I agree that using a laptop mouse or trackpad is not good, and I actually use a Trackball instead of a Mouse. Mice can run out of desktop space, and I continually move them around. So, a Trackball works for me. So with a Wacom Tablet, when you use the Freehand part, you would get better lines or flow better. What do you think about this? Again, great videos, and I just signed up for the insider email and joined the Facebook site.

I just made a sign that was suppose to be 24” with a 23.5 rectangle for the cut out of the text but my long mill shrunk my lettering down to about 18 “. I made 3 signs and it didn’t it to all of them. What did I do wrong?

Karen, this one is a little too tricky to answer over comment my friend. I recommend joining Kate and I for our KZbin live session every Wednesday (including tonight) at 8PM EST and we should be able to walk you through it!
