Extruding 3 line of text at same time.

Anonymous

  am trying to make a keychain with 3 rows of text. I made a rectangle, extruded it to 6mm, then put the text on it. I tried to extrude a line of text by -2mm and hit enter, It was fine, but the other two lines of text dissapeared and can't figure out how to get them back. Tried clicking and encompassing all three lines of text and extruding, but that didn't work. Please tell me how to extrude all 3 lines of text at same time.I

It's hard to answer with out seeing what your doing.  Fusion does tend to turn off sketches after an extrude.  Is that what's happening?

Yes that is what is happening. Also thought that there was a way to just extrude or cut all lines at same time.  Someone told me , shift /mouse click.  Didn't work for me.

That's fine, but I have the lettering on a 6mm keychain, and want to extruder, or cut into the keychain -2mm. I have the word Michigan cut in, but the other two lines don't seem to want to be extruded. When I try, I have a little error message pop up in the lower right hand screen, but it doesn't stay on screen long enough to read it.

Here is the link to my online file.

I figured it out. I had to make the keychain in rectangle, extrude that out 6mm, add the text onto that, and extrude it in -2mm. THEN fillet the corners and edges of the keychain.  So the fillets added after the text must have been the problem. 

Thanks for trying to help.
