Hello friends
I'm new to this forum and excited to be participating in discussions about my favorite topic. I love the heck out of Deltacad and can't imagine life without it. Thus far everything has been hunky dory but I just recently encountered an issue with which I need assistance.
I use Deltacad to create DXF drawings which I open in Fusion 360 and extrude/revolve sketch profiles into solid bodies to send to a 3D printer.
A recent design featured some text which I also need to be able to use as a sketch profile in Fusion 360 - the text needs to be cut into the surface of the body I will ultimately create. This means the text needs to be - I guess? - made up of lines and curves that I can select and use.
When I imported the Deltacad DXF into Fusion, all the text was gone.
Please help me figure out how to turn Deltacad text into splines and lines that other programs will recognize as usable. Some research on the matter informs me that there is a process called "exploding" text that will turn text into entities other programs can use.
Thanks in advance
