Engraving (Dolphin does this)

Engraving (Dolphin does this)

I recall a question recently on this forum and the Sherline forum that
asked about engraving software to generate G-Code. I went back to my
Dolphin CAD/CAM software and found that the recent releases 6.x and greater
have what appears to be very elaborate engraving routines. These appear to
include multi-line text, multiple fonts, True-Type fonts, and wrap text
around curves, cylinders, etc. I say "appear" because I am not yet at the
point where I have used this personally other than to test the examples. I
have opened the sample files and run the verifier and it looks good to me
-- a novice.

Disclaimer: I have not, as of yet, generated any G-Code or actually
engraved anything. I just tried this in response to some of the questions
on the list.

Perhaps someone else on this list has already done so using Dolphin. If so,
I would appreciate hearing from you.
