Creating a label outline
Creating a label outline
(OP)
I have a cup shape (like a styrofoam coffee cup) with tapered profile. Is there a way I can translate the surface to produce a die line that would serve as a label outline? I'm thinking I could do a zero offset surface... but is there a way to flatten it to produce the outline shape.... or maybe there's a better way.... any suggestions?
thanks
thanks

RE: Creating a label outline
Does the installed label have to conform to a specific shape? i.e. Does it have to be a rectangle when viewed from the front? Are tapered or curved edges acceptable?
You could use the Wrap function to project a sketch around a conical face, and adjust the sketch to give the final outline you need.
