    you have to ungroup the shapes (convert text to paths/outlines) and then regroup them manually.

    I don't know what the exact tools are in Flexi, but that is what I have had to do in Gerber or Illustrator.

    start reading on how to do that... there is info all over the web on how to group/ungroup. all programs will be slightly different, and you haven't given any info on what you're using. I have gerber Omega and Illustrator, and both are different as well.

    I use corel but maybe this will help.

    I messed up, the red is the text and the blue is the bevel.
