Extruded text

[draftsman101]

I am haveing trouble extruding text. I am making a logo and it is one sketch. When I click extrude, 2 letters won't extrude. the K in HAWK and the big G in the middle. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this.

Btw, the text is SwItalt Bold and Italic.

I would attach a thumbnail but I don't know how to do that

Hi,

Zoom in on your text, and make sure that the letters do not overcross or overlap. If it is the case, then you have to select contours.

A way to fix this is to increase the space between letters in the feature manager of the text tool.

 

[dragginthru]

Tools -> Sketch Tools --> Check Sketch for Feature

Keep checking/fixing until you have nothing but closed contours.

Never mind I figured it out. It was a font issue. Had to change it from bold italic to italic.

Thank you.
