Text in 3D

[wmgeorge]

I don't know where else to put this and I am working on the issue so maybe I will have an answer before one is posted here.
I would like to do Text with my printer like a Logo or a persons signature in 3D (duh) I can do it and it looks fine in S3D preview but my next step would be to make the top of the Text with a radius or rounded.

I have Corel Draw X6, Fusion 360 or 123D Design. You should be able to select the edges of the text and do it with the Fillet function in either one of the last two programs, But the top of the Test does not have a continuous line to select. Suggestions welcome, please!

You want to fillet/round the individual curves of the text? Well, if that's what you want... in F360, you create a sketch, add text, stop the sketch, and extrude the text sketch. Then you can use the push/pull tool (or fillet), and select each segment/curve of the top of the text that you want to affect. Hold down CMD (on a Mac; on a PC it's probably CTRL) to select multiple edges.

Thanks for taking time to reply, I did try what you suggested when I was working in F360 but it seemed to be a hit and miss deal. Maybe I will give it another shot.

Thanks for the You Tube link, interesting on how to place Text on a cylinder, but I was looking to do text with rounded surfaces.

BTW has any one used this > http://graphic.autodesk.com/mac/

Plan on switching over to a Mac if I can and I need something to replace Corel Draw.

Oooh, that's interesting. Maybe I can ditch Inkscape for good.

(Inkscape is a multi-platform free vector illustration application. It's a bit clunky, but if you find Graphic doesn't suit your needs you can give it a shot.)

Looks like the reviews are meh. Affinity Designer is much better rated.

It got one kind of not so good review but the rest seem to like. I don't need Illustrator for sure, just need to replace Corel Draw which I have gotten pretty good at using. Autodesk seems to be really into the 3D printing and graphics and when I get my MacBook Pro I will give Autodesk Graphics a try. I know Fusion 360 and 123D Design have Mac versions and that's all I would need otherwise.
