Are you going to use the engraver to put the hatch pattern onto the text? This can be done in DesignEdge.

You are quite welcome! Let me know if you have any questions about using Inkscape to automatically create your hatch patterns.

What do you mean by "how to make a hatch pattern join inside" in DesignEdge? I am unclear on what you want to do.

ya Joe, i was playing with the easy scriber i just got, but i got it all figured out now.

That is great, but I thought your question was, “how do you hash pattern into text, using DesignEdge software?“

Likely easier to do the hatch pattern in Inkscape and open in DesignEdge unless you have a trick up your sleeve Joe......

Yes - that is exactly what the OP was looking to do. He could not find a hatch pattern tool in Design Edge, so had been messing around with Inkscape - which does have several hatch pattern tools. I suspect his problem was that he may not have been converting his text to paths before saving to import to Design Edge. I believe that I was able to put him on the right path and he can now achieve his goal.

so i did a few practice letters the other week that worked out well but now im having an issue with this file when trying to make a cut path. im sure its something simple. Attached is the file made with Inkscape.

You must do a DOUBLE outline of the letter in order to set such a design into the interior. I did a video on this ... Looking for it .... Ah! Found it!

Let's keep it simple.

You can also do the offsetting in Inkscape before you save as dxf for import to Design Edge. Then when you open with Design Edge, simply create your cut paths for engraving and cutting.
