Text Tool on Glowforge

Hi there! Is there a way you can create multiple lines with the text tool without have to create a new line each time? When I hit return to create another line it does not let me.

I don’t think it’s possible.

If you need to do a bunch of lines of text, you’re probably better off hopping into Inkscape or Illustrator.

Or use my favorite tool:
https://wmd-glowforge.github.io/text2vector/

This will actually spit out text that is a single stroke (i.e., not outlined text, but a single line for each stroke of the letter). The advantage is this text can be scored, which is much, much faster than engraving it.

Good luck!
