Font

Select a font from the dropdown list.

Note: If you plan to use the Emboss tool to emboss text on a solid body, select a font that is not a single line font.

Single line fonts

A single line font is a typeface that uses one line to define the shape of each letter. It has no defined thickness, only a single line path for a laser, or milling tool to follow.

Single line fonts appear at the top of the list, followed by the SHX suffix.

Note: You can use the tools in the Design workspace, on the Surface tab, to extrude single line fonts as surface bodies.

Typeface

Bold : Adds bold emphasis to the contents of the Text box.
Italic : Adds italic emphasis to the contents of the Text box.

Height

Specify the text height in the units of the current design.
