Hope to add a windows font to a face of a dial

brian_sweet

Hello to this kind community.  I am trying to figure out a way to add numbers (0-9) to a circular face for a counter.  I would like to use a font I have, but could settle with a font in OnShape if I needed too.  Here is a mock-up of what I am trying to achieve in the end.  I would like to have the numbers on a sketch to extrude off the face.  I am just not sure if what suggestion you may all have to do this. 

I have though of making the numbers as an DFX and adding them to the face.  But would rather try and do it in the sketch. 



Here is my test:

Check out @jnewth_onshape's new custom feature: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4e187c2b2f7f4974f4e2b612/v/04e7ad76e7b3e4008b7632cc/e/e8c85370413ae1136b63f9df

AFAIK, though, it can only support Onshape fonts.

This custom feature should help! Fonts are currently limited to the Onshape set unless you go the DXF/DWG route: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/cfec40e2b66bb4ddb2f3414b/v/3f1bcca2812d650a51c9960d/e/7a70ac021729253c4df9d213?jumpToIndex=1592

Try a few different Onshape fonts and find one you like (we have a zillion).
I made a copy of your doc and used the feature to get you started:

Thank you for all of your help.   I was hoping this feature would be out there.
