Text Embossing Issue

[Anonymous]

I am working with a cylindrical tube that needs to have a string of numbers milled into a slot. After creating the slots and removing .030" through the emboss function, I write sample part numbers. When I try to remove material to show the numbers, the numbers are coming out mirrored on the back side of my cylinder?? Has anyone else experienced this? If I emboss one letter string at a time it works fine but if you combine 2 or more it comes out screwy??

Can you post the file or an example file that exhibits the same behavior?

I posted it in my second message on customer files.

Thanks for any help

Are all your parts built like this? (garbage Acad imports with nothing
whatsoever constrained to anything)

Embosses (without wrapping to face) don't like tangent workplanes....
actually, your workplane isn't really tangent (dimension driven) but using
the wrap to face will fix the first problem of the emboss flipping to the
wrong face.

Once that is fixed the text seems to emboss itself if the face at the bottom
of the slot emboss is chosen for the face.

I fixed it up a bit for you but the text isn't constrained.... but then
neither is the base feature.

Perhaps you just need this coupler (looks like a coupler to me) slammed out
and hopefully it will work for you.

Hi! I delete Emboss5 and recreate it using the same profile. The resultant
Emboss seems to be fine.

Thanks for the help. It is a demo part and will work fine.
