I discovered a little Fusion 360 hack I wanted to show. In this video I demonstrate how to wrap text around a cylinder using the new Sheet Metal environment. Enjoy!

• Autodesk 360 Sheet Met... on how to extrude text to a curved surface in Fusion 360.
Maybe it's a new feature, i wouldn't know cause i'm new to Fusion 360 myself, but there is a more direct way to accomplish this now. You simple make the text sketch, and when you are going to extrude, instead of changing the Extent option, you change the Start option, and select From object. That way you get the same result in one step. The sketch doesn't even have to be in an offset plan or whatever, that doesn't matter, you can do it in the origin if you want.
Thanks, tried it your way and it worked great.
That worked great, thanks.
When I attempt to do that I get this error:
Error: Fail to project profile to remote surface
What am I doing wrong?
well, i didnt care about your local time at a random date but the information provided was what i was looking for
Vladomir - thisis SO simple. I have been searching for how to do this for ages and ages. Lots of convoluted things like using sheetmetal functions, uncurving surface and so on - this is a simple and great way to do it!!
I tried this how you explained in your video and it worked well. I will try the new method mentioned in comments next time. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Glad it your worked out 👍
I really like your style of presenting. I'm new to Fusion 360. When I do a search for some how to do facet of Fusion 360 I want a short, clear, concise, and focused explanation without other stuff. You did it beautifully. Thank you.
Wow this is awesome! I spent so much time trying to project sketches to surfaces, which works, but nearly as well as this.
This video is enough to convince me to get fusion 360!
Thank you!
Thanks Vlad! I was having a hard time with this, your video came at a perfect time!
That's awesome, I love when that happens.
I'm taking you fusion 360 beginners course on Skillshare, I was just looking for a quick answer, I didn't expect to see you here though!
Excellent video, short and to the point, and gave me all the information that I require. Thank you
After the extrusion to object you can use move type "translation" combined with edge axis option and select an edge on your text it is more accurate especially with complexe shapes
Thank you for the information
You bet!
Thank you. That is exactly I was looking for. Bravo !!
Thank You sir
Thanks! That helped a lot.
This does not fix the distortion problem with the letters, they are not truly wrapped around, it's just a projection. Try wrapping around the entire circumference of the sphere this way, you simply can't. This is not a genuine solution to this problem.
create an offset plane to apply letters to, then use this feature.
You mean create an offset plane for each letter? That is ridiculous! And it still will not wrap the letters properly, it'll be a "good enough" fix but not a true solution.
The difference between "good enough" and perfect, is that "good enough" gets the job done!
Really though, this is a pretty expected feature to have in a program like this. It matters for certain projects that the sketches can be projected properly to curved surfaces then extruded in the correct direction as well. I don't see what's so hard about having that feature.
ok greg
Thanks so much! This helped me a lot with a project for a client I am working on!
Nice post. Quick and to the point. thanks!
Thanks for the short tutorial.
Distortion problem is still unsolved, the letters must be radially extruded reference to center of the circular/ spherical object
thanks sadly it didnt was the right hting for what i needed so i just made offsets and sketches en cut them by line myself hten extruded down to how far i wanted ( it was for a card holden but in a curved panel xD now i need figure out the Bridging effect but i will get there
Hi - thank you for this - really hepful. Can you explain how you make a shape follow a curve so that it is standing on the surcae rather than cut into it?
Quite interesting method!
good tip, thank you for your tutorials, keep up the good work!
FANTASIC!!
Thank you for this video!
After extruding text into surface , could you extrude the resulting extruded surface in opposite direction to create raised text?
Yes, but you're now far better using the new Emboss tool: ruclips.net/video/pcgSgFYmH6s/видео.html
Thanks you. Great help. Please do an embossing of an image (DXF) into a sphere or cylinder.
Thanks for posting this tip!
You are welcome!
Hi, these are great. have you tried to to do this with split the face of the line drawing or text. it works well if you want a cut shape around a curved surface like a cylinder
I like you're video. Thank you for it. You might do one on how to wrap text around it so that all the sides point to the center of the circle. While all the lengths were the same so were the angles. Right? Unless I'm missing something.. I think it's project to cylinder or something,
too awesome ive been trying to figure this out for while...thank you. is there a way to line the Text to exactly where you want it or is it trial and move?
Thanks, great tip!
Hey can you do a video of wrapping a image onto a dome or curved surface. Say I import an stl or dxf and watch to protect it onto a surface but curved with the surface. Raised not cut into the surface. Thanks!
Just start from 4:00 if you know the type to text feature
Thank you. You made my day :-)
Could you maybe choose another font?
Yes
is there a way to "bend" the text to not distort the spacing or letters? to be able to "wrap" text around a cylinder.
I'll look into this. I did notice that the closer to the edge the more distorted the letters look. I'll post a follow up video if I can find a way to avoid the distortion. Not sure if you can do it with text yet.
Not that I know of yet. But there is talk of sheet metal functionality that is supposed to be released soon that is going to allow this.
You can project to surface but from what I've seen distortion still occurs.
The best option might be to download and install this plugin which will wrap sketches to a cylinder.

You could draw up a cylinder the same diameter as your sphere. Then wrap your text. That would remove any horizontal distortion.
please do a tutorial on how to do a curved text inside a circle. let´s say you have a Gas cap and want to do a text on top on the cap that follows the circle around. Not the edge around it but on the top surface. i can´t get it to work in Fusion 360
in fusion the surface i'd like to put text on a surface that came from an svg, problem is it's not 1 selectable surface,
any idea how to do this?
u are the man!!!!
Shame a projected image can not be extruded... but this works.
please, show your personal settings, my fusion never behaves the same as you when I'm your videos
It is not wrap!!!
to Abject new bAdy
Thank you!
I'm trying to wrap a image (like a label or adhesive) to a cylinder on fusion 360, how do I do this?! Since its not a new body...
I am new to this, but the other day I saw something about adding a "decal", maybe that is the way?
