Looking for some 3D letters. I've been creating my own for years, but want to see if there is anything better out there. I Googled, and got alot of rubbish.

Anyone?

If you have the express tools in Autocad.  You can explode text into polylines and extrude.  Or create it in Word using word art.  Copy it from Word and use paste special in Autocad as Autocad entities.

Been doing that since its been there...  ...actually have XSHP.lsp Copyright (C) 1990-92 by Upper Canada Software, Inc. used that before expresstools caught on...

Never tried the Word thing, but I'll give it a shot.
