Hi, im new to shapr3d and enjoying this software, there is 1 thing dont know how to do, i cant find the bounding box for text sketch, how can i connect all the text sketch together so i can constraint it with another line, i want to make a text wrap around a circle, so when i change the circle size,…

[image] akmalfadilah92: how can u constraint the text with the circle? I added a construction plane for each number, directly on the circle and offset around it every 15 degrees. I rotated them so that the planes are perpendicular to the circle. At this stage you can already check yourself: …

There is no bounding box like Illustrator because text are same as SKETCH, think more like CAD system instead of typesetting app. You will need to create your own bounding box, yes its a tedious process and no quick way to wrap text, you will need to do it the manual way. If you wanted to do one a…

I use illustrator to wrap the text around circle and then import it in shapr3d, my real problem is i cannot link or constraint the text sketch that i imported in relation to my cirlce, my circle now is 600mm, i offset the text 20mm outside the circle, how do i make the text follow the circle size wh…

[image] akmalfadilah92: cant find the bounding box for text sketch, how can i connect all the text sketch together so i can constraint it with Bit hard visualizing but. At first I thought you wanted wrap around a extruded cylinder but I’m wrong I think you are working 1d flat. If you are usin…

yes, im working flat, i need to constraint the text in relative to the circle size, what i need now, the text sketch have a single point that i can constraint with other line, so i can set up parametric sketch, the text sketch have so many point, can you look at my sketch, thanks, Chop Saw.shapr (4…

If type didn’t contain splines I think your approach is possible. But I believe you need to extrude and align that to the sketch to make it work.

yes i figure if the text didnt contain splines i can easily constraint the sketch with another line, but align didnt work with rounded face right? the text got rouded face like 0 text for example, hmm, i think i might try diffrent font text with flat faces,

nice!, please teach me how to do it pls, the manual work doesnt matter, how can u constraint the text with the circle?

In a contrast creating this sketch took less then 5 minutes but it is not scalable. [image] What I’m trying to say sometimes its easier to recreate the sketch.

never thought about adding construction plane, dem, i just know a plane can be constraint with sketch, thanks a lot dude, ill try it now

Well… it can be done, but it requires a lot of tedious manual work.
