can I add extra truetype fonts to Onshape?

david_higham656

I'm trying to add a logo to a model I'm creating, but the font used isn't one of the available fonts.
Is it possible to add fonts to the font library in Onshape?

Unfortunately no.

There is, as you may already know, a workaround and one which I have used. First type your required text into a word processor and set to your desired TT font. Export this as a screen dump and trim it before saving as eg jpeg. This can then be imported and traced before manipulating and incorporating into your model.

i suppose you could write all the letters in solidworks or whatever. Extrude it and import into Onshape.

Then make a new sketch for each letter. Make a featurescript that accepts a partstudio with all of your letters. Then a text box and a height.

Have the feature replace/scale each sketch with each letter in your textbox.

similar to how beams can read sketches from other partstudios/documents...
