This is my first attempt at metal engraving using the 40w S1 , a little off centre i know by keeping the mistake in means that you don not make the same mistake.
1 , I placed the tag in the centre of my work space.
2, I then marked the engraving area.
3, I picked the font I wanted to use and the text.
4, Then i used the shape tool to draw a rectangle around the marking area
and centred it .
5 For the 4 corners i placed a circle on each corner and made sure the that the circle centres were on the tip of each corner ( the corners of the rectangle not the marking area)
then used the boo lean tool to subtract for the desired effect
6 I selected the stainless steel bone tag in the metal materials list.
7 finally when every thing looked right i set it away processing
unfortunately when it finished i realised i was slightly off centre but the overall
i was pleased with the actual engraving.
Any advice or criticism will be happily accepted
