Align 3D Letters Along Curve

I have some 3D letters that i need to align along a curve. There will be a bottom piece of 3/4 plywood that the letters will fit into with the tabs on the bottom of them. I cannot figure out how to get the letters on the curve while keeping the spacing the same as it is now. i know the letters will stick outside of the curve but as long as the middle of the blue line on the letters is aligned with the middle of the blue line on the curve it will be fine. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi,

 

extrude your letters,

increase the extrusion of the arc-based solid.

run command _INTERSECT with the extruded letters and the red solid.

 

Is that what you are looking for (file attached)?

Not sure if this exactly what you needed, but could be a start :cara_guiñando_un_ojo:

Thank you very much. Im sorry for the late response. We ended up finding a way to do it by doing a polar array and a bunch of nodes. It took hours and was very tedious. Im sure there has to be a faster way.

 

Your attempt was close but off a bit. The letters need to have 90 degree edges as it will be cut out of foam on a cnc router and can only be cut straight down. So the face and the edge must be perpendicular. Secondly, when you extrude the letters straight out and then use intersect it messes with the letter spacing and overall width of the letters a bit. Clients have very specific brand outlines where they have fonts and spacing and aspect rations and stuff that must be followed 100 percent.
