Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] New to Cad/Cam trying to draw in Vector...please help

Hi Kadeshan,

As these are simple letters, I'd first draw them in the required size.
Then select, copy and paste multiple in the negative Z direction.
"Special alternate direction" can be used, and then "draw line connect"
to get the multiple passes you want.

These procedures are explained in the manual or PDF file.
