Question

Projected text

Does anyone have a good technique for projecting text on a cylinder? I've done the usual Edit>Project, but the results are not adequate because it still distorts the text proportions the further away from tangency the text curves. I need something that is accurate as I am going to use the text to laser mark some cylindrical parts.

TIA

    Try Wrap instead of Project. But it will only work on parts not
    assemblies.

    Thanks everyone - Wrap did a nice job. Now I'll see if the laser can handle it.
