Text Wrap around entire cylinder
Text Wrap around entire cylinder
(OP)
Hi there,
I'm trying to model a guage for a Lathe which has text wrapped around an entire cylinder. I'm having problems using the wrap as it only seems to want to wrap half of the numbers I need to deboss. Also I need to accurately control where the wrap begins and ends, I can't be satisfied with merely getting it to work.
Any tips on wrapping text completely around a cylinder?
Thanks

My main issue is getting each piece of text to align to notches already made on the cylinder. So as I wrap the text the text eventually falls out of alignment with the notches.
The only solution I've come up with is to make 40 seperate cuts aligning the text with the corresponding notch. But I don't want to do all that legwork just yet.
Here's an image of the dial.
