Raised Text on Parts
Raised Text on Parts
(OP)
Hi,
I am wanting to put raised or "solid geometry" text on a part that is to be injection molded. I am able to create the text the way that I want it however, once the text is in place, model regeneration is incredibly slow. Also, our mold vendor requires an iges file of our part. I have not been able to open the created iges file that has the part with the text on it. Are there techniques or settings for Pro/E that might make transfering the text geometry to our mold vendor easier?
Does anyone have any experience with text on injection molded parts?
Thanks,
JW

I hadn't tried the "use edge" command for making the text a solid feature. In the mean time, I have just put cosmetic text on the part - so that it will be visible in the 2D detail drawing. I will try your suggestion, as I am curious to see whether or not the way I created the text features was the problem.
Thanks again,

Our mold vendor is quite agreeable to any of our suggestions and hasn't yet commented on the solid text being in the IGES file. I certainly agree that, while it is possible to put the solid text in the model,depending on the software capabilities at the other end-they may just have to work around or delete the text.
I have added the text as a cosmetic feature -for reference only.
Thanks for the conformation,
