Type in your expression and then hit "=" to evaluate it and input the answer. In almost every numerical field we now allow math expressions. That may or may not be perfect, depending on your particular font, but it seems to get you in the ballpark with our testing. There's no reliable "middle" of a font so we determine that by taking half of the height of a "T" as the midpoint. When text is on an arc, we use the middle of the text as the baseline so that text on the top and bottom of the arc appear to line up. If you hold shift while dragging, it'll move both the center and the reference point at the same time. In the text command, you can set the arc by dragging the center point or the reference point of the arc to get the alignment and radius that you want. Text can now be laid out on an arc, with the text on the top or bottom of the arc. (It shouldn't, we were pretty conservative about how often we update.) Text on an arc We may have to tweak this a little if we get feedback that some machines are bogging down. We also added a bit of code to update the text preview automatically as the parameters change. If you have one or more lines of text that will change then this will be really helpful because the text will keep its alignment on the document after the text changes. For a single line of text that never changes, this doesn't matter at all. Text objects now hold an alignment value of Left/Center/Right. This should be helpful for users that are doing production work where they may want to fine-tune the machining of a single item and then copy and paste an array of them for full production. If you copy the vector, you copy the tabs too. We added a new tab command to add tabs to a vector. Tabs are now a part of the vectors, not contour toolpaths It includes lots of new features so we'd like to encourage everyone to try it out.Īnd now, on to the changes. The download can be found at: for those that want to try it out.

After weeks of beta testing, we've released Carbide Create V7 with a lot of big changes.
