🎶 Create personalized song lyric signs with your CNC machine in this detailed lesson! Kyle guides you through importing song lyrics and customizing them within Vectric software. Learn essential techniques like using "Draw Text within a Vector Box" for background lyrics, and then creating an offset boundary for the song title to achieve a clean, layered look where the background text is trimmed around the main title. Kyle also explores advanced text manipulation, such as distorting text to fit within complex shapes (like hearts or apples) using external graphic design software like Adobe Illustrator, GIMP, or Inkscape, before importing them into Vectric. Discover how to effectively manage layers, clean up vector nodes, and apply V-carve toolpaths with or without a clearance tool for optimal carving results.
