Enhanced lettering capabilities for multi-axis machining software

NCCS has enhanced the lettering capabilities of NCL software to assist the user with developing detailed part programs, thereby making the process more efficient.

Dozens of fonts have been added to the lettering capabilities, including cursive, script, double, and triple inscribed fonts. Lettering can now be labelled using the standard NCL naming conventions, be created from the NCL part program, and can be projected on to surfaces, giving users a more detailed and thorough part program.

Superscript and subscript text is now supported along with the ability to set and modify the lettering attributes including font, colour, size, etc. The interface has also been enhanced to accept multiple-line lettering from a single form edit field.
