This works. It's more complicated than my earlier solution, but architecturally cleaner. Ant idea why text is disabled in this sketch mode?
I found a way to do this, but methinks there must be a better way.
I created the text sketch on a plane, and extruded it to the target curved surface. Then I created an offset surface from the target surface. I trimmed the offset surface to ensure that its reach was limited, then used it to cut...
I would like to place raised lettering on the curved surface of a solid part. The lettering needs to be a minimal height.
It is simple to create text in a sketch, and to project this onto a curved surface using "Edit" "Project". But can this be used to create solid raised lettering?
