Because this method is so new to me I really want to sure I approach it correctly first (I see great potential. Rather than as images or css background, it seems you can approach icons as a font.

Now click on ‘Join selected nodes’, this will combine the two nodes into one.ĭo this for all corners that are relevant and it will save you time when cutting it with Origin. Next select one corner by drawing a box around it with the tool, then the selected nodes will appear in a different color. You can fix this by using the 'Edit paths by nodes' tool (N)įor fixing this first select the letter by clicking on it once. g this N will result in 3 lines on Origin.

If you have a closer look at the text that is added to your workspace, you can see that the vectors are not always connected.

When clicking ‘Apply’, the text will be transformed to vectors and directly is cuttable with Origin.

Here is a short overview of some fonts available: The others are also vector fonts, but usually created with two vectors.

All fonts marked with 1-stroke or EMS are single line fonts.
