> Hi, in a previous topic, I presented a method to wrap a sketch around a cylinder with known accuracy, saying the process could be extended to a cone. [Accurate method to wrap a sketch to a cylinder](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/accurate-method-to-wrap-a-sketch-to-a-cylinder/18024) Here is the adaptation of the method to wrap a sketch around a cone. In first approximation, accuracy is the same as for cylinder. [sketch around cone small] The process is roughly to slice the cone in sectors (piece of cake) and place them in such a way that they project onto a plane as a perfect…

In that method we can add text only on the side of the cylinder .
I want the text on top of the cylinder.

This is the feature I’m most looking forward to at present. Unfortunately, the response of the Shapr3D team is that this is beyond their consideration.

I use [Light Burn](https://lightburnsoftware.com/) for arcing text. Then I export `DXF` that can be imported into Shapr3D. There are several tools that can do this sort of thing until that is available natively in Shapr3D.
