Hi, you can create the sketch using Concepts app, Illustrator or Corel draw and then export in DWG/DXF format.

Alternative you can download this workspace with all alphabets and simply project the letters to your design:

> [@Text file - ADD TEXT](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/text-file-add-text/2864):
>
> [Alphabet.shapr](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/d/d9813fa235de3422e4592fbf09e693900ff9a69b.shapr) (672 KB) Hi guys, For anyone looking to add text to their workspace, here’s a workaround until the function is added natively. I put the characters on separate planes in groups of 5 or 6 to reduce slowdown. Font is Arial Anyone can feel free to upload their own fonts, numbers and non-alphanumerics Enjoy
