Texture Tool Path "dips"

Well, I’m trying to expand to another community for doing homeowner name signs and they have a specific one I am trying to match. Problem is I can’t quite get Carbide Create to do exactly what I need. On the texture toolpath the bit seems to “dip” into the cut each time instead of going in at a 90 degree straight in, carving straight across and then coming straight back up. Am I missing something, or is this what it will do every time? I’ve thought of different solutions that would take a lot more time than utilizing the Texture Toolpath, but would rather have that work. Thoughts? Specifically looking at the Men sign.

And what I’m trying to mimic:


I haven’t used CC in a while but is it maybe using a ramp feature?

That’s what it feels like.

How about an engraving tool path, kinda like this:

Are you using CC Pro?

Yes.

Ah…that’s why there aren’t any toolpaths. I’ve not moved to pro yet.
