Take a look at Dolphin CAD CAM, text
Can be typed form the keyboard. The font
(either True Type or Simple/Centreline),
text height/Width, Overall depth and Depth
of individual cuts can then be assigned.

Demo software can be downloaded from
www.dolphin.gb.com , if required contact me
offlist and I will send you some Text
examples.

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.
