FreeCAD: Easily Add Text / Numbers to Faces in Part Design. Beginners Dungeon Masters Dice

This video takes you through the basic workflow of how to easily add text, characters or numbers to faces in the part design in FreeCAD. This is approached in a very simple way with using a 8 sided dice similar to what you would see in role playing games or dungeons and dragons. We will first learn how to build the dice in FreeCAD and then learn how to attach text to the side of the dice allowing FreeCAD to pocket or pad / extrude the letters of numbers. The text can then be edited easily afterwards allowing for the designer to easily changes the text in the design.

I can't believe this, I have been drawing up a part only yesterday (yep, all I have learned has come from MangoJelly) and wanted to add text to it. Then you pop up the next day to show me how to do it! Thanks again for a great channel.

I wanted to make a triangular keychain with our names on each side. I couldn't get the text right on the sides. But through your explanation AND the unusual angles of your dice, it became clear to me how I should actually place my text on it. Your explanation helped me tremendously.
