Simulating a curved label on a cylinder?
Simulating a curved label on a cylinder?
(OP)
I modeled a flat label 0.1 mm thick, with a few rectangles simulating the text fields & bar code, extruded another 0.1 mm.
What's the best way to wrap it around a cylinder? It wraps about 120 degrees. I can do it with lines, but not the 3D label.
I'm using NX4.

There is no way in NX to wrap a given solid onto another.

not directly wraped around the cylinder, but its shape become cylindrical.
