Create letters and symbols with Profscan

Here is how I cut letters and symbols out of foam sheets. For instance, today I needed an arrow to put at the entrance of my nice’s house indicating her birthday’s party direction.

The first thing to do, after planning the project at least in your mind, is to get dxf files of the shapes we will cut. Dxf is very common format for people who use cad software. I don’t J , but this is how I get dxf as well.

I actually still use an old oem version of CorelDraw as my graphic software, it works properly for my needs. CorelDraw also let you save verctorial symbols straight in dxf format. This is useful for the simplest symbols as the arrow I’m using in this example.
