Text on a curved surface 3

[UMDpru]

Im trying to put some text on a cylindrical surface and i can not quite figure it out.

Im using SW2006.

I thought i could maybe project the text onto the surface using the split line command but that didnt work and im jammed up with it now.

Any help out there?

Thanks,

Adam

Could you extrude the text onto the cylindrical surface such that the text is too high and then cut the text to the proper height?

Adam,
SW cannot project a sketch or create a split line if the scketch has multiple closed profiles (such as a bunch of letters).

This should work for you:

'Insert' -> 'Feature' -> 'Wrap'

Choose the sketch that contains the text.
Choose the face that you want it projected onto.
Select whether you want it embossed, debossed, or just scribed on the surface.

Hope this helps,
Lou

Try the Wrap tool.
