How do you extrude Text on a non-flat surface?
(OP)
Hello,
I just used the Text sketch feature to extrude a text on a flat surface, but this doesn't seem to work, or be that straightforward, for a cylindrical or spherical surface.
Can it be done?
Thanks.

Once you have the text extruded, you can cut any shape you wish out of it to "remove" the flatness from the sketch plane it was created on.
Good luck,

There is also an example in the model Library at the SW subscription site under :Modeling Techniques / Cylindrical_Face With Cuts-Boss.
