I am stuck, I found a work around.

When I am trying to draw up the test, Like the number 1, I select the one and it goes to the center of my screen, but it will not let me radius the drawing.

Now I work around it by plotting points, re drawing the 1 and then radius it.

How in the heck can you do it with out redrawing the whole thing.

Thanks for any help,
Steve
 
U mean arc? Such as a fillet with radius? Or do u mean radial, meaning that it will appear flat in the X/Y plane but actually have some height "arch" in Z and could be viewed with orbiting the model?
 
Yes it is Fillet, I can do that no problem, but not when I use the text. I use the text that is the box type. One that would need to be pocketed

not sure how it treats text. My first thought is to "explode" the text. You may need to do it more than once to remove all of its associative properties so that it is made up of a bunch of smaller characters. If it will explode the possibility that it contains tons of very small lines does exist. If this is the case then you can't really fillet an .0156 radius between 2 lines that are >.0156 so it may take some re-drawing.
 
If I'm not mistaken, when you create the text, you need to choose "vectorize".

I don't think BobCad's text generator automatically creates text as a vector.

Try that to see if it works.

Royce hit the nail on the head. Either that or what jake suggest will work as well. One thing to keep in mind once you do either you will not be able to edit the text.
