How to add text to a surface in fusion 360

In this video I will show you a simple way to add text to surfaces or objects in fusion 360. This is a really easy process and if can be added to rounded surfaces or flat surfaces!

thanks for a no nonsense video and being straight to point.

Thank you so much! I am BRAND NEW to design and this was the most straightforward video I've found yet. I've watched it a few times to make sure I'm doing it right and its so helpful! Thank

Perfect video for what I needed. Thanks for sharing and being so helpful.

Great help, to the point just what I needed. Thanks!

Wow, this is the best way indeed. Many videos ive seen take ages to get to this result. Thanks

[JoMiller]

how do I make it wrap around the cup? Like I want the text to be longer than it is wide so it needs to wrap around.

Thank you. Ive seen other using photoshop text and transfer to fusion360. But your method much much better.

Wow this is a lot easier than I thought. I just wanted to print a TPU bracelet with my name (as a test mostly). Thanks!

Most useful...Congratz!...One doubt, How will create a taper effect after creating this?

[Ricobass]

Isn't the text distorted by the curvature? If the extrusion happens at rt angles to the plane you sketched on, then it must be and the text edges will not be at rt angles to the curved surface.

I know this is a 3 year old video but I downloaded the free 360 program recently and I've created some parts in it. I do not have a text option in the Create menu... Is that something on the paid version only?

Perfect. This came up first in my search results and was exactly what I needed to add text to a coin

When I make a text box, the corner that I drag it out from becomes completely locked in place, and I cannot move the box, only pivot around that first point. I think it could be to do with constraint, but I cant delete it, do you have any idea what the problem could be?

[nabrup]

How would you get the extrusion of the letters to be 90° to the circular surface?

[sabrinaflipse]

ughhhh i cant get it to work on a round surface. it won't wraparound, it will only stay flat :( even when i put the from surface option. :( halp?

[tomwalters]

Thanks! I probably owe you a beer now :-)

[vangriekenc]

Very good tutorial. Is there a way to undo/delete the text?

[vastolorde]

How did he get the bottom of the cup like that

[radkll]

Thanks. I have seen so many people saying this couldn't be done elsewhere!
