Hello, would someone please tell me how to place text radially ? I need to place text around the face ofa cylinder, similar to the way words are placed on coins.
activate "shape studio" go to drop down "insert" then "curve" then "text" . that text window has a comand under "type" that allows you to follow a curve with text. I have not been able to figure out how to get the CAM funtion to follow that type of text yet.
NX 3.0 upgrade has insert/curve/text to create text tangent to cylinder. Make sure you have planes or lines and points tangent to the cylinder before starting so you can locate start of text. Then use insert/curve from curves/wrap unwrap to apply text to cylinder surface.
