I'm sure this can be done, but I'm not sufficiently advanced with Fusion 360 to figure it out, unfortunately.
I'm making a medal for a friend, who is going to achieve a major milestone in a couple of weeks. I've got most of it done, but I'm stuck with the last part. The medal is shaped like a coin, and like many coins it should have text sunken into the cylindrical surface at the edge. Ideally, and also like a coin, this cylindrical edge should be milled as well, but that is a secondary problem.
The font I'm using is not a standard font (it's Celtic, since he's an Irishman) so, since Fusion 360 can't find it in my font library, I've made a dxf file with outline characters using Illustrator. This is fine for the front and back faces, where I can import them as sketches.
But I can't attach them, and nor can I make a regular sketch, to/on the cylindrical surface at the edge of the medal.
Obviously I can attach the file as a decal, but I can't use that to make an extrusion (with negative depth).
Am I going the wrong way about this? What is the best method to attach a dxf file (or anything else with vector information) to a cylindrical surface so that I can afterwards use it to emboss the text?
Thanks,
Richard
