How do you Create Text on a Curved Surface

Matt Holste Dec 24, 2014 12:18 PM

Hello Everyone,

My question is how do you create text on a non planer surface / curved surface. When I go into Tools / Sketch Entities / Text it asks for a planer surface to sketch onto which I don't have. I have attached a model of the pads that I just need some simple Extrude Cut Letters with draft Extruded into the face of the pads .050 deep. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

Getting draft on it is tough, but see if this method would work.
