TEXT FEATURE
(OP)
DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO FULLY DEFINE AN EXTRUDED TEXT FEATURE? CURRENTLY THERE ARE OVER 100 CONFIGURATIONS OF DISCS WITH TEXT RUNNING AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE DISC. WHEN OPENING A NEW SIZED DISC THE TEXT STAYS WHERE IT WAS FROM THE PREVIOUS DISC.
THANK YOU

RE: TEXT FEATURE
Text can be constrained (right/left justified or centered) to lines and curves wich can be fixed with dims or relations. The lines and curves should be construction geometry.

RE: TEXT FEATURE
THE ARC IN WHICH THE TEXT IS "FIXED" TO IS FULLY DEFINED. A REBUILD ON THE PART ALLOWS THE TEXT TO JUMP TO THE APPROPRIATE SPOT IN WHICH IT IS MEANT TO BE. THE ACTUAL TEXT IS BLUE, WHICH SIGNIFIES AN UNDER DEFINED SKETCH.

RE: TEXT FEATURE
You should use a construction curve concentric to your disc anyway.
RE: TEXT FEATURE
Rfus' example above demonstrates a constrained anchor point, so the text won't go anywhere. It also continues in the ribbing you're receiving for leaving Caps Lock on while posting.

RE: TEXT FEATURE
The point you refer to Rfus, is not visible on my screen, is there an option that must be turned on in order to dimension to it?
thanks
RE: TEXT FEATURE
No worries on the caps thing. It may seem odd, but it comes across as yelling (yeah, some of us post too much here and get a little strange after a while. ..).
