Radial text
-
G'Day Folks and folkess's
looking for a way to insert/ intersect radial text ( see Skp)
atm i am using 3d text tool
then i explode said textregroup each individual letter ( for ease of positioning)
Move into position and rotate to desired angle
intersect and delete unwanted geometryall in all a long convoluted process

You'd be better off doing the fit text to curve operation in a 2D graphics program that has special features to do exactly that. CorelDraw, for instance, has a dandy text-on-a-curve function, with all kinds of controls.
After you've got the outlines, you can import them into SU via dxf or dwg and then Push/Pull etc. to suit.

The free 'Inkscape' application does it quite well, too. In fact Inkscape is really rather a good application so long as you can ignore the rather unpleasant visual quality of the UI - on a Mac it has to run under the X Windows library and the UI look really jars with the nice clean OS X UI.
But it is good and it is free. Hard to argue with that.

Thanks Tim will d/l that and give it a go

How about curving in the other direction? These should be on the wish list for function with the 3d tect commmand.
