2023 Mark feature "Wrap to Face" capability needed.

2023 Mark feature "Wrap to Face" capability needed.

Please add the capability to wrap to a face (like the emboss command) for the new Mark feature. It looks like it currently can only mark on a flat surface.

 

Most of our laser marking is on cylindrical shaped housings which makes this new command of no use to us, We were hopeful that the new Mark command could replace our current practice of embossing shallow text to represent laser marking. Embossing makes the file sizes rather large in comparison to the mark feature.

I Absolutely agree, I'm currently modelling a cylindrical model that has an embossed cut out that requires machining on a 4th Axis rotary. I would like the mark command to add detail to my model to then be used for a engraving strategy but i cant select the geometry wrapped around the cylindrical surface. I'm all for this functionality asap 🙂
