    This document provides a 16 step process for creating 3D text on a CATIA part. It involves creating text in a CATIA drawing, saving the drawing as a DXF file, then pasting the text as a sketch onto a part surface to create solid geometry features like pads or pockets. The monthly tip is taken from a live learning series class on advanced sketcher tools offered by RAND to provide an in-depth look at CATIA V5 topics.

    CATIA V5 Monthly Tip

    December 2008

    Creating 3D text on a part


    This simple process utilizes multiple workbenches in CATIA to achieve the
    solution to the challenge of creating 3D text on a part.
    1. Create a new .CATDrawing. The size, orientation and specifications do

    2. Select the

    (Text) icon from the Annotations toolbar.

    3. Click a location on the drawing. This will indicate to CATIA where the text
    will be placed. The Text Editor window appears.
    4. Enter text in the Text Editor window as shown below.

    scheduled on January 29, 2009. The Live Learning


    Series is a sequence of live, Expert-Led classes
    delivered over the Internet on a weekly basis. They
    are designed to complement classroom learning
    by providing an in-depth look at a specific subject
    within CATIA V5 software. The topics addressed in
    each class are based on top issues and challenges
    identified by users who have contacted our Solution
    Center.
    Our Live Learning Series enables you to interact with
    a live, expert instructor who facilitates, instructs,
    and demonstrates the lesson as well as answers
    questions and supplies feedback in real time. The
    instructor executes lessons from their desktop while

    7. Give the file a name, and choose .DXF as the file format. By saving
    the drawing as a .DXF, the created text will get translated into lines
    and curves, which will help you in creating 3D geometry later in the
    process.
    8. Close the .CATDrawing.
    9. Open the desired .CATPart to apply 3D text to.
