Creo Parametric 3.0 Tip: How to Create Raised Text on a Surface

By: Tyler Griffin

To create raised text on a surface, first create a datum plane in front of the surface.

Create a sketch on the new datum plane. Within the sketch environment, click the text icon in the sketching group.

Create a vertical line, starting at the bottom point to choose text placement and height. Then enter the text and set font and position (based off of the vertical line you created).

Complete the sketch. Then, select the surface that you want to add raised text to.

 

Select the offset icon in the editing group.

 

Select the second option (the with draft feature option)

 

Click References -> Define and select the plane that you created earlier. Then select the project icon in the sketching group.

 

The dialog box shown below will open. Select the loop option.

 

Then select a curve from all loops from the text you created earlier.

 

Complete the sketch, input the offset value.

Complete the feature and you're done.
