The plugin form will now remember these settings until CamBam is closed. Added 'Arc Fit', this makes the characters more rounded. This software combines editing, formatting and translation tools that are useful for CNC programmers with a backplotter for instant G-Code verification. Added a 'scale factor', the plugin detects units used and selects suitable default values.ģ. NCPlot is an editor and backplotter for 4 axis mill and 2 axis lathe G-Code programs. I substituted a 'space' character for those not found.Ģ. Errors reported were because the character was not found in the font file, they have definitions for English characters only. These can then be moved, scaled, rotated or whatever from there.ġ. set scale factor and arc fit (values can also be typed directly into the box without using the up/down buttons if desired)Ī rule of thumb that seems to work for initial settings is to use an Arc Fit value of 1/3 * Scale Factor. enter some text in the yellow text entry box, multiple lines are allowed.ģ. click the 'Open font file' button, navigate to your 'StickFont Font Pack' folder and choose a font.Ģ. The plugin called 'Fonty' will appear in the Plugins folder.Ī text entry form will appear similar to that of CamBam's,ġ. If you are not familiar with anything NcPlot has to offer but looking for a solution a problem you may or may not have, check out . cache:vSJB90jsFNUJ:/forum/viewtopic.php t24604&sid06373381fc69f3bca81acc8031a5300a. I thought it would be a little exercise to see if these fonts could be opened in CamBam, so please find attached a plugin to do just that.ĭownload and unzip the 'StickFont Font Pack' to a location of your choice, install the Fonty plugin and restart CamBam. In any case, if you are familiar with NcPlot, please go back and check out SketchNC and report back either here or on the NcPlot forum. I found some fonts at NCPlot website here, a free 'StickFont Font Pack' can be downloaded there.
