I need to add raised text and a raised logo to a surface. The surface
is not flat, it curves in all directions.
I created a curve in the shape of the logo (for simplicity, lets say
that it is a triangle) as a sketched curve on a datum plane in front
of the surface. then I projected the logo curves onto the surface.
I tried to "OFFSET" the projected curve, to get the raised thickness.
It works if set to "along surface", but when set to "normal to the
surface" (what I want), it only offsets one of the curve lines.
Because the surface is not planer, I can't use "FILL" to change the
curve into a surface and then use "THICKNESS".
It is worse trying to project text because when it asks for the curves
to project, it only allows one line of a letter at a time (letter "T"
has 8 lines around) and even so, it says that the ends of the lines
are not connected so it won't make a surface from the projected
curves.
I have also tried STYLE with no better results.
I have read the rediculous HELP files until my head swims but can't
find anything of any use.
Is Proe WF3 capable of doing this?
Any help is appreciated.
Peter.
