Here is a job one of my dealers asked us to do. This is not a hard job but he did not have a laser so we did the job for him. He emailed me the suggested setup from his customer. I also had to go to Brands of the World to import the lions logo for him. I had to copy the text paste it into CorelDraw, than format the text. The next step was to import in the lions logo than output the job to the laser so that I could engrave it onto acrylic.
Here is the text from the email.

Here is the text from the email. I will have to format it again to get rid of all the spaces but the nice thing is that I do not have to retype the text into the job.
