I'm getting a "zero thickness geometry" error when trying to use the Wrap tool to create text on a tire.
What's odd is it did it successfully on another part of the same surface.
The error:
...and the successful feature on the same surface at 180deg:
Issue #2: It won't let me do all the text in 1 Wrap command. I get this rebuild error:
File?
As a test on a simple flat surface on another body,.. do you get the same error(s)?
..also,.. try and increase the accuracy... does that help?
It could be the curves within some of the letters. Either try a different font or remove one letter at a time to find the offending one. Then you could dissolve the text into sketch entities and make a minor change to remove the issue if you need to keep that font.
Dissolving works. It appears to be font related.
Any work arounds to enable me to do all the 360 degree text at once? ("Issue 2" in original post)
It could be the curvature of the surface that is causing the error because the wrap would have to "bend in" in two different directions to satisfy both sets of text.
What version and service pack are you running so I can test this?
It's a complex curvature surface so wouldn't it have to bend in both directions anyways? The error is stating that the center of the sketch doesn't project onto the target surface - I assume because the target surface is a ring with no center.

That is true, but it is just a quirk that I have seen with the wrap feature. I tried a couple of different variants of attempting to place the text on both sides at the same time but got nothing but errors. Most likely would be a good one to send into your VAR and see if there is an SPR for this already or just a known limitation.
