Decal in project mode

Decal in project mode

Hi!

 

My proposal is to add new decal mode - it could be called "project".

 

The point is to make a task easier and more consistent if one needs to put several labels at once on surface like this:

Single decal PNG could look like this:

Now it's impossible to do as Fusion wraps that PNG around keys and it all got messed up.

 

Thread on forum with discussion on possible ways to accomplish this: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/put-decal-letters-to-keypad-project-instea...

 

Alternative ways include: 

- put decal on each key at a time - this makes it nearly impossible to align, arrange them and keep them same scale;

- load SVG/DXF in sketch then project it some way to faces then either split faces or extrude and apply some different appearance - highly increase model complexity and contradicts the idea that decals should make life easier for such "decoration" cases.

Hi Pavemed,

 

As you have pointed out the Decal feature is quite tricky to use. I have been posting for about a year to get the decal feature improved. See other posts. 

 

Please vote on them, so hopefully they will improve the Decal feature.
