Hi All

I am designing the plan of a workshop (machinery site) its mostly 2D sketches , but I extrude them a bit to have a 3D view, but I liked to be able to put the machine names on them , is it possible ? I mean they be visible all the time , not dimensions , I could not try with text box, is there a way ?

Read the tutorials and help for "decals"

Add a cut or extrude feature to deboss or emboss the description with text

THANK YOU , I created a decal , but it is not visible when I close the Decall window

RE: How to put Visible Labels on 3D parts in solidworks

You can create an emboss or deboss using text elements in your sketch as farzadtb suggested. You can also make the emboss or deboss surface a different color from he body to make it stand out. Check Sketch Text help.

if you use the Decal route you need to toggle the View option ON. [View]->[Hide/Show]->[Decals]
