Can text be placed on a curved surface?
Can text be placed on a curved surface?
(OP)
For simplicity, I have a cylinder that I want to place text on. I would like it on the surface and following the surface with a uniform depth of cut.
Currently I put the text on a plane that is tangent to the outside of the surface. I then make a shallow extruded cut, just enough so all of the text intersects the part. This makes the depth of the text vary, deep in the middle and shallow at the ends.
Can anybody help me on how I could have the text follow the outside curve?
Thanks

You can emboss, deboss and scribe. Also try running search here. This issue has already then discussed
