TEXT AND EMBOSS

I have gone through 3 different books with instructions on embossing text.
Not one works when I follow it.
First I great the text. I finish sketch. I choose emboss, when I go
to select the text, it does not select, so I cannot emboss. What am I doing
wrong. I also cannot get the text to turn 90 degrees, again following the
text books by Ellise Moss, Randy Shee, and Banach, Jones and Kalameja. Can
someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Dave Silverberg

Text can be finicky to select but you should be able to do it

I have placed a AVI in IVCF showing how to rotate it and it being
embossed. Look for the same subject

Notice a corner needs to be locked down and then you can drag it to a
angle. At that point you can add a angle dimension to make it precise.

Make the sketch offset from the solid you emboss it to?

That's due to R6s great new selection method Select the
background then select the text then SHIFT select the background again to
remove it. Then emboss.

It freakin' annoying I tell you.

I always make my text (or whatever I intend to emboss) on a sketch plane
offset from the surface I want to emboss it to/on...that way it's easy to
select the text.
Clear as mud?

Or you can use the "select other" tool
