I originally designed this file in Adobe Illustrator but it would be fairly easy to replicate something similar in XCS. I measured the inside of my cross to get the work space. I chose fonts and typed the Bible verses I wanted. I manipulated the He is Risen portion to make it a different font and placed it in the middle. The one important thing to note when bringing fonts over to XCS is that you need to have it compatible with an SVG. I highlighted all of the typed parts and hit create outlines and then combined them. 

1. Measure the board you plan to use. Create the base shape as a guide for sizing and placement.
2. Add text that you plan to use. Choose the font you want.
3. Place the type in the guide for proper placement. 
4. Make sure type can be read by laser as an SVG. Change it to a vector compatible image if needed.
5. Save as an SVG.

With the F1 you need to engrave the sections separately. Here we will engrave the top portion of the cross.

1. Slide the F1 screen up and place the cross facing up in the center of the base. 
2. Arrange that section of the file on the workspace on XCS. 
3. Use the framing tool to arrange the words in the center of the top of the cross. Move the cross or words as needed so it will engrave in the center. 
4. Set the settings as listed. 
5. Process and engrave.

To engrave the bottom portion you need to turn the cross and engrave in 2 sections. You can fit the rest of the verse in one section and then engrave the last line separately.

1. Turn the cross 90 degrees counter clockwise and place in F1.
2. In XCS line up the verse in the center of the cross area using the framing tool to place it where it looks centered. Leave some space to the right to place the last line of text. 
3. Engrave that section of the verse using the stated settings.
4. Move the cross to the left slightly.
5. Line up the last line of text between the end of the verse and the edge of the cross. Use the framing tool to center it.
6. Process and engrave.

I cut the center portion of the verse with 3mm Basswood plywood. You can do this using any material you want. You can also change the sizing or font to customize it how you want.

1. Load the cutting plate and 3mm Basswood plywood.
2. Arrange the words “He is risen” on the XCS workspace to fit on your material. You do not need to keep it in the same formation. You can move letters around to fit in one cut sheet.
3. Set cut settings.
4. Process and cut.

All you need to do to finish is attach the words “He is risen” to the cross board. I usually use loctite gel superglue. Sometimes I also line the back of my boards with a double sided adhesive so I just have to peel the backing off and attach. 3M has some options and I got a roll of double adhesive from amazon.

1. Arrange the cut letters in the center of the cross.
2. Use your chosen wood adhesive to attach. Let dry or sit the appropriate time in the instructions for the adhesive.
3. Hang on your wall, give to a friend or do whatever you want with it!
