Computers usually come with a number of fonts preinstalled, but there are also many font designs that you can download for free or for a cost online. These files define the exact styles that are presented.
Put simply, computer fonts are files that are saved on your device and are referenced when you type and read text. In this article we’ll run through some common problems that can occur when laser cutting text and provide some suggestions for selecting the right fonts for your needs. There are a huge number of fonts available online, but not all fonts are well suited for high quality laser cutting and engraving. Also, verify sketches are set to visible in your View settings.Formatting Text For High Quality Outcomes To ensure your sketches are being shown in your drawings, head over to the FeatureManager Design Tree and expand the model and find the sketch. Select the OLF SimpleSansOC font and the style Regular. In the Sketch Text PropertyManager, select your line/curve in the Curves section, type your text in the Text box, and uncheck the Use document font box which will then allow you to click on the Font… icon. While inside the sketch, add Text by clicking on the text icon in the Sketch tab of your CommandManager, going to Tools > Sketch Entities > Text, or typing Alt+T. To use this font, start a sketch in your SOLIDWORKS part/assembly and draw your reference geometry. This SOLIDWORKS stick font will alleviate unnecessary tool passes when engraving down the line.
Starting with SOLIDWORKS 2014, users have access to the OLF SimpleSansOC font.
This is due to the multiple passes the tool has to make for each stroke of the character. If you are involved in the design process of components requiring laser engraving, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, and/or water jetting, then you know that traditional fonts are not ideal.
