Description
The CAM Engrave command is primarily for engraving a 
Draft ShapeString onto a part. It can also be used with other flat 2D geometry, for example imported SVG-based shapes.
Usage
-
There are several ways to invoke the command:
-
Press the
Engrave button. -
Select the option from the menu.
-
-
In the Base Geometry section, select the geometry to engrave.
-
A
Draft ShapeString can be used. -
Other flat 2D geometry, such as imported SVG-based shapes, can also be used.
-
When possible, select the whole flat shape instead of selecting many individual edges in the 3D View.
-
-
In the Depths section, check and adjust the depth settings as required.
-
Confirm the operation.
