Filled text

[MSa]

Hello

I´m modeling electrical enclosures and labels for them with Creo Parametric 2.0. I´m trying to make them by modeling a label base where necessary texts are cut extruded. Then I make a drawing and print it to the aluminum foil. Obviously by using this "technique" only outlines of the text is printed and the gaps between the text outlines are so small that the result is not looking very nice.

The question:

Is there way to put a filled text into a planar surface of a part? I know that I could add a text in to the drawing but then the text wouldn´t follow the model and copy pasting the model to the next project wouldn´t work.

Attached is the whole file set at half the size of the previous (using the TTF font)... Creo 2.0 full version

It has a pen table in there too.

....Actually, I prefer "Idiot Savant", emphasis on the "idiot"!

I totally forgot that, sectioning extrusions like that and altering the xhatch to "fill". It's been years since I had to do it...... Good catch!
