Cookie Stamp Curved and INVERTED OR FLIPPED Text

Hello,

I can model a rubber stamp :) And I know how to create curved text :)

However, in 3D modeling a cookie stamp for our school, I am not able to flip and curve the text in the Surface Text Feature. I can only change the text direction and align it - neither of which gets me to where I need to be when stamping into dough.

Thoughts? Thank you!

    Hey @Amy_Sarofian,

    Could you please share a link to your public document, so people can have a look to help.

    Short answer is probably just to change the view/orientation of the plane/surface that you put the text on. Will probably be easier to show an example.

    Thanks

    Hi @Amy_Sarofian

    I made a custom feature to simplify tasks like this. It tries to make the usual stuff (arranging, flipping, orienting, rotating) text a bit simpler. It may help:

    Try it out if you can't get Surface Text to work. Read about "Text" here: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/101768

    @Amy_Sarofian A simpler way to do this occurred to me: Model the 'cookie' and not the punch. Then create the punch that forms the cookie by taking a blank stamp (so, any solid like a cylinder or a rectangle), and then boolean subtract the cookie part from the blank stamp part. The resulting stamp part should be the stamp that would make the cookie.

    or just put the sketch on the outer face of the punch and set the extrude parameters for accordingly.
