Text on Cone Face in Fusion 360 - (Text on Path + Emboss)

This is my new video on how to put text straight on a cone face/surface in Fusion 360.
I have made some earlier videos on this but wanted to make one video on both inside/outside cone and fix some mistakes ;)
0:00 Intro
0:56 Creating the body for the workflow
1:50 Text on outside of cone.
8:44 Text in inside of cone.

Excellent! Thank you for this - I used the technique to project text onto a concave recess around a cylinder. I created a temporary cone at the corresponding angle and followed this tutorial to create the text in the right place before extruding it onto the surface below. Your technique worked perfectly.

[@ChrisOndrovic]

Thank you for this I had been struggling to accomplish just this and watched a bunch of other videos with no luck. Your approach and definition helped me to achieve what I needed, only suggestion would be to slow it down a bit more, as I am still new to fusion 360 / cad stuff and I found myself having to pause and go back numerous times.

I'm a bit "slower" in my new videos, but you have to consider that all videos and tutorials are not for beginners. And a good help for me in the beginning was slowing down video playback on UA-cam.

" For electronic nerds blink an led" ha ha, like me. Very useful video, thanks.

Thx very much for this tip !

Thanks! I needed this for my robotics team where I had to make a team prop for our FTC games!

Un espectáculo!!!!!!!!!!! Gracias por tan buenos vídeos!!!!

such a good video, thank you!

Hey I love the video, really easy to follow. I feel like I did all the steps accurately but I keep getting an error when I go to select the plane when embossing. The error is "Sketch profiles are not Coplanar. Deselect profiles that are not on the same plane" Any thoughts on a fix?

[@KristianLaholm]

Some fonts and curvature will not work. Or if you have had 3D sketching activated and something has moved of the plane, but I'd mostly suspect the font. Have you tried changing the text or font?

[@AMSmygs29]

@@KristianLaholm Hey I just tried that and it worked! Weird since the message didn't really hint to that. Thanks for such a helpful video Kristian!

[@BobCorey]

Doesn't work for me... It won't do anything when I select the face and the letters, I don't understand what I did differently...
EDIT: Some fonts CANNOT be extruded...weird.

[@KristianLaholm]

You can try and Explode the Text. Edit sketch with text, right click text and select "Explode Text", this will convert the font into lines, arcs etc. After this you can't edit the text.

[@lsvtec86]

Any chance you could make a video on how to add an SVG to this part?

[@KristianLaholm]

I have a workflow but for complicated SVG it will fail. And I was waiting for Fusion to release an update version of the Emboss Feature doing this directly (it has been mentioned but no timeline on implementation)

[@KristianLaholm]

I have uploaded a workflow ua-cam.com/video/WVB5gSuAJHE/v-deo.html have a look and comment if it works for you :)

[@GregR333]

I almost have this working. I have my text on the path and it looks good but the plane is still showing, yours isn't and when I try to emboss, and I pick the face of the cone, it says the parts are not joined. oh , I had to turn off "tangent chain" option.

[@KristianLaholm]

It's hard to say whats wrong. Did you select the correct plane for the text sketch? (on starting the sketch the plane should be hidden) And some fonts will not work with emboss due to geometry of some letters, try and different font.

[@tthectichouse]

Brilliant, I learnt a lot from that. Is it possible to emboss a sketch around the cone other than text

[@KristianLaholm]

If you do the sketch on an arc (like the text in video) it's possible. But it takes a bit of planning depending on the design.

[@tthectichouse]

@@KristianLaholm thank you 🙏

[@SlavaChrome]

Where to get these solutions? It’s not so obvious. :)

[@KristianLaholm]

In this case the workflow is based on how you would manually create a Flat Pattern of a cone for sheet metal fabrication.

[@SlavaChrome]

@@KristianLaholm yes, when I seen it, it became so simple =)

[@KristianLaholm]

@@SlavaChrome Finding the right angle to look at things can take some time :)

Awesome job, I got it! Tighten up on your English, will help.
