Single Line Font Rolling

I know what you're going to tell me ... One more topic about singl line font !

Sorry, but I have read all the discussions that deal with this subject but I have not found a solution to my problem.

First first solution is to use an out of date VB Script which does not take account of text justification.

Use FabTool dedicated stuff but only acces to limited font choice.

But my mean but my main problem is that I can not properly roll the text over the revolution surface.

First issue, I can't found a solution to unroll revolution brep... Do you have an idea?

I found a trick to send the text on the surface but it goes wrong with the straight segments, could you help me on this point ?

Have a nice day

Hi.

Doubly curved surface can not be unfolded unless divide it into several single curved pieces.

And regarding straight segments of single line text, you should rebuild your original single line text curves first(explode+rebuild curve degree 1 or 2 with enough control points+rejoin) and try mapping again.

Genius! Many Thanks

Straight segments issue is solved.

Do you know how to add justification option in a VB Script?

Hello, I do not understand why there is so much deforamtion between the original text and the plated one.

Thanks. Trust me I've tried so many stuff since the 9th october.

But problem is still the same.

Yesterday I posted the cleanest way to have a solution that nearly works.

First, your solution is not working with single line font.

Secondly, my real problem is that when I play with the width of the ring, text is morphing . I mean round circle of the O morph to an oval shale like a 0. And height of text become variable.

"First, your solution is not working with single line font."

Hey, dude.

I don't understand what is your problem.

In case of a single line font, you can partially change the definition for it.

If you changed the condition of the original definition, should not you change it?

As for the deformation of the mapped text, your text is maping to the U & V domain of the target surface which is of course different from the original surface and it seems natural to be deformed to me.

If you want to prevent it, you can try mapping the original text by reverse transforming it in advance or rebuild your target surface.
