Placing text on a solid

[pauledward]

Hi all!

Does anyone know how to place text on a solid. I feel really dumb asking this question. I can fake it but it's taking so long.

Thanks

On a plan surface of a solid? Extrude the text as showed above. If it's not placed right on the desired surface, Union together the letters for easy manipulation. Place it on the surface -maybe using the ALIGN command. Move, rotate and resize it if needed. Finally use the UNION command again to make the text and the solid as one.

I've moved this question to it's own thread, so now you can check the "Similar Threads" at the bottom of this page.

Also, have a look at THIS thread. It includes a lisp routine that may be useful.
