Angled Text wrapped arouind a cylinder

Angled Text wrapped arouind a cylinder

Angled Text wrapped arouind a cylinder

(OP)
I have a cylindrical object, similar to an aluminum can, and I want to wrap text around it - easy enough with the 'wrap' feature, but I would like to angle an entire word, not just individual letters.  (the individual letters rotate, when you hit the Rotate button in the text editor.)

Is this possible?  (I tried with no luck rotating the sketch plane that the text was on - didn't work, but I'm thinking this is the right track.)

RE: Angled Text wrapped arouind a cylinder

Nella,

Under Sketch Tools use the Modify command to rotate the sketch to whatever angle you need.

Thank you - I swear I've tried that, but obviously not.

RE: Angled Text wrapped arouind a cylinder

You can also have the text follow a path ... a sketched (construction) line or curve.

cheers
