elevated text from a cylinder
elevated text from a cylinder
(OP)
Can anyone help me with this issue? I'm trying to place elevated text from a cylinder. My problem is that you cant use a curved surface as a sketching plane. If I place a plane outside of the cylinder and extrude to the cylinder followed by a revolved cut there is some warping of the text. This happens for both a text sketched projected to cylinder as well as wrapped text about the cylinder. If I place text on a datum inside the cylinder to a surface offset from the outer cylinder wall the same effect occurs. I'm trying to elevate the text out from the cylinder in a circular fashion to have a uniform offset as well as no warping of the text.

2. Select the surface you want the text on, and then select "Edit" "Offset". From the drop-down in the dashboard, change the type to "with Draft Feature". "Use edges" in the section and complete the feature.
Good luck.
