please support drafting text on extrusion

please support drafting text on extrusion

When you put text on a molded part (raising or lowering it), you generally need to add a bit of draft.

 

If you extrude, you can add draft.. except when text is involved.

[here I just typed «TEST» in 10 point bold Arial end tried to extrude by 0.5mm with a 5º inward draft and then with a 0.01º inward draft]

 

There are many other issues with text (alignment, positioning, path following, performance, etc), but those are more inconvinences whereas this one creates a special kind of hell when the text is longer than a character or two. If you don't appreciate how awful that is, I encourage you to try extruding undrafted text then drafting every face by hand and then imagine it's something you have to do for about 45 characters

This would be very helpful in 3D printing patterns for sand casting

Agree, I would like to migrate from Solidworks to Fusion 360 but I do a lot of plastic parts and they almost always have text in a few places.  This seems silly but it really is a must-have feature for plastic part design.
