Hey everyone, I'm very new to Solidworks. I have a back of a keyless transmitter case that is curved that Im trying to extrude text onto. I can get the text okay, but having trouble making the text match the curve of the part...help!! I searched the forum and tried to offset the curve then cut....that didnt work...any suggestions?


Thanks,


drew
 
Hi, do you want the direction of the extrusion of the letters to match the curve as well or just make the extrusion perpendicular to the case and cut them to match the curve?


Hmmmm, when you tried to offset the curve and then cut, what step didn't work, and what do you mean by "didn't work"?


Answer those and I'm sure I'll be able to help!
