How add a visible text/note to a 3D part face?

How add a visible text/note to a 3D part face?

How add a visible text/note to a 3D part face?

(OP)
I'd like to start a sketch on a face, type some text, then exit the sketch (setting the sketch as shown) and still see the text. Is this possible or is there another way?

Thanks,
Ken

RE: How add a visible text/note to a 3D part face?

It is not possible to write text to a sketch.

However, you can create a text in drawing (select some truetype font). Save a drawing as dxf (to create a vectors of text). Open dxf-file and copy-paste text to a sketch.

RE: How add a visible text/note to a 3D part face?

Ken...  2 possible solutions (I'm not sure which one you're asking about)

1. you can do as Eklunja suggested to turn a drawing note into geometry of the outline of the text characters, or

2. you can INSERT + ANNOTATIONS + TEXT WITH LEADER which will add a note in 3D pointing to a face or any 3D feature

Ken, use annotations if you do not need the text to be part of the solid.
