Question
I would like to type,(say a letters and numbers in Tru-Type)and only have an outline in color 3 (green). I use a Roland Versa Camm Sp-300 to print and cut labels from AutoCAD Electrical 2008 SP2. I use green as a cut line and can cut simple letters and shapes. I just want to cut out individual letters etc to cut out on different color vinyl. I have been using Autocad as of v1.5. I wanted to go ahead and ask this question I am about to experiment with Fill, Fillmode and textfill Settings. Thanks, Ricky

Answer
Hi -- I just have a moment, and dont have AutoCAD running at the moment, to check this, but it should be simple.

a-- of course, you can use a font that is an outline --- Swiss 721BT outline or similar.

b-- don't you get the result you want when you print "hidden"???? Generally, bold fonts will print as outlines.

Write back if I did not hit it and I will check more deeply.
