Vetically Modeled Text

[trapper00]

Hi all,


I am trying to model text in a vertical fashion in Wildfire 2.0. Right now I having to model each letter individually and then try to center them. Is there an easier way to accomplish this? (See attached photo). Thanks

Try the constraint "Make line of two vertices vertical"View attachment 1225

Maybe I need to make myself more clear. The TEXT needs to be centered on the midplane of the rod. If you use the Align Vertical Constraint, it essentially left justifies the text. (See Photo)

Anybody???????

You'll have to center them manually like you first said. Sketcher text is kind of limited in that area.

mgnt8,


Thanks. I was hoping there was an easier way, but it looks like I'm stuckdoing it the hard way.Research shows thatWildfire 3.0 might have this feature. I guess I'll wait and see.

It's not in the WF3 pre-production release.

for an obscure work around you could create a new font.- with all the letters sideways and centered.


then just orient the text line sideways in the model and BAM! the letters will write out looking like what you want.
