How do I make fonts a solid?

[bobbi_1966]

New to SCAL and I've been scaling this site for ages, and cannot find an answer to my question. I'm etching a date on wine glasses for my daughters wedding, and I can't figure out how to make the font a solid when I cut it. The way it is currently (and all my fonts are in this form) I cannot etch. Could someone please help me!

You are already there, you just don't know it. What you see on your screen are the cut lines. So when you cut this from vinyl and remove the letters you will have a stencil that etches inside the letters. Does that make sense. If you look at your letters with outline unchecked in the view menu or click preview all it may help you visualize.
