I have read MANY articles/posts and watched many video's on this topic and I am still not able to figure it out (which is sad).
I have some text which is wrapped around a cylinder more than 180 degree's (see image below).
I have read that I need to create an offset surface and project my text onto this offset surface...the problem is that the text wraps around the entire cylinder. I can NOT project all the wrapped text on an offset sketch plane (does this make sense?).
Here is a very boiled down image of what I would like to wrap/extrude:
A very quick "wavy" banner.
Sketch 1 is a text sketch
Designated Area 1 is the flat filled surface
Sketch 3 is a spline sketch using perimeter control
The Spinal Bend is just that, the Designated Area (quilt) projected onto Sketch 3.
If it's projected, instead of wrapped, won't that distort (lengthen or shorten) the letters along the length?
I'm going to try and play with this today, thanks!
