Text on a beveled, curved surface (cone).
Text on a beveled, curved surface (cone).
(OP)
Can text be "wrapped" to a cone? I would like the text to be engraved to athe same depth on this surface and I have tried several iterations of planes, sketches, etc. however I have yet to find anything that works. Has anyone been able to do this?
Thanks,
Legrand

Create the cone.
Create a tangent plane.
On the tangent plane, create a sketch showing the line or curve you want the text to follow.
Close the sketch.

Create a new sketch & use the sketch text tool to create your text, selecting the previous sketch as the path.
Close the sketch.

Activate the Wrap tool, select the text sketch, whatever options you need, the cone surface & then finish.

"Wrap only allows one or more closed countours that are disjoint in a sketch"
What the heck does that mean? Solidworks sure likes to use "disjoint" in all their messages.... Can someone elucidate me on the meaning of this?
Thanks.
