Woodcarving Letters modelled in Inventor

[ProdigalS0n]

Hello there

I am looking to model some woodcarving letters into a chopping board that I am making. 

I know that you can emboss / engrave letters in Inventor but I am looking to create a profile like the image below where the extrude tapers to a central line of the text character - rather than the standard inventor cut extrude of the text character like image below.

It would be good to create the process as an ifeature so that I can apply it any text.

Regards

1 - TO create that you will hav to use manual techniques and it will take dozens of hours.
2 - It's impossible to make an iFeature where you can change the type of letter, because every type of letter has is own specific characteristics.

As Carlos mentioned, it's no easy task.

iFeatures are nearly impossible, but a sample file can be created, and used in a derived part (Scaling or Boolean operations).

An extrude with taper might get you there?

No, Paul.

Thank you very much for this - I should be able to play around and get it to work for me!
