Etching onto materials (Help needed)

Anonymous — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 16:13:35 GMT

Hello there, I was wondering if somebody could help me. I am still getting to grips with Fusion 360.
I am working upon a watch design I want to etch some fine lines to indicate the hours on the face. What would be the best way to do this?

Cheers

Johnny

If you just need to engrave the lines in CAM, then just use sketch lines in the Model workspace. If you want to render the watch face, then you'll need to sketch the perimeter of each line in order to extrude them. If you just want to do text, then you can extrude the text directly in the Model workspace or use the Engrave toolpath in CAM without extruding the text..
