[Tutorial] Autodesk Inventor - Create And Emboss Image (As Text)

Hello Inventor Community,

 

I wanted to share a neat way of embossing images onto faces I have been using.

 

Personally, I do not like tracing images, especially after already tracing them in a photo editing program already in order to convert them to a Outlined SVG.

 

In this tutorial, you will learn how to take your PNG or SVG image and convert that to a TTF (Text Font) and then you can simply type a character on your keyboard and have your image show up! The image acts just like a SVG so it can scale indefinitely and all the normal text manipulation tools (like emboss) work flawlessly. 

 

This will also work in Fusion 360.

 

Enjoy!
