Anybody have any info on drawing 3d text on to models?

Welcome!!I'm not by my station at the moment, but I do believe there is a way in your Express Tools.If nobody else confirms within the next 10-12 hours, I will.

First convert your texts to outlines with [CMD]TXTEXP[/CMD], then extrude the outline to 3D.

TXTEXP is a lisp routine found in Express Tools.

With Express Tools loaded.
1) Create the text on layer 1.
2) Use TXTEXP.
3) Change to layer 2.
4) Place a rectangle around the entities and use BPOLY to create a clean outline of each letter.
5) Clean up is as simple as locking layers and erasing or moving the entities. John Connor2011-02-28 13:17:12
