Hey everyone,
Trying to get a cnc machine to write text as a single line. I have a single line font but I need a way to convert this to vector.
For example the letter T will beccome two lines. Anyone have to achieve this before with pitstop, switch etc?

Re: Converting Single Line Font To Vector
Hi,
You can convert text to outlines using a single action (vectorize text), but this won't split a letter like "T" into separate elements.
If I understand correctly, you're looking to decompose letters like this:
T → | and _
V → \ and /
q → c and |
d → c and |
I'm not deeply familiar with CNC requirements, but wouldn't the control software handle such decomposition automatically?
With PitStop, your best option might be to switch to a font that's already visually separated, then vectorize it.
Here’s an example of such a font:
