Text
Sketch text on any set of continuous curves or edges (including circles or profiles made up of lines, arcs, or splines on the face of a part) and extrude or cut the text.
If the curve is a sketch entity, or a set of sketch entities, and the sketch text is in the same sketch as the curve, convert the sketch entities to construction geometry.
To sketch text on a part:
-
Click a face of a part.
Click Text (Sketch toolbar) or Tools, Sketch Entities, Text.
To create a profile for placing the text, sketch a circle or a continuous profile from lines, arcs, or splines in a sketch, close the sketch, then open another sketch for the text.
-
In the graphics area, select an edge, curve, sketch, or sketch segment.
The selected item appears under Curves .
-
In the PropertyManager, under Text, type the text to display.
The text appears in the graphics area as you type.
-
Set the properties in the Sketch Text PropertyManager as necessary.
-
Click OK .
-
With the sketch still open, Extrude or Cut the text.
To edit sketch text:
-
In an open sketch, right-click the text (the pointer changes to when it is over the sketch text) and select Properties.
-
Edit the text and its properties in the Sketch Text PropertyManager as necessary.
To dissolve sketch text into separate sketch entities:
In an open sketch, right-click the text (the pointer changes to when it is over the sketch text) and select Dissolve sketch text.
The sketch text is converted into non-text sketch entities (for example, lines, arcs, splines, and so on).
