Jerry got me thinking about stacking text on a model.
If you want the text to not be flat on top, but follow the curvature of the model, I'm drawing a blank on how to do this in VCP. In Aspire it's simple, but in VCP you can't create a model of the text. Too much time on my hands I guess :D :D :D

I'm still a bit confused & trying to figure out your first post John, since the original question asked about stacking text on 2D clipart :lol: :lol: :lol:
Or is it simply that you are some kind of mind reader :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, but the next logical step is stacked text on 2.5D clipart, just getting a jump I guess :D :D :D :D

To curve the top of the text could you run the (in this case) dome at a z height equal to the top of the text the cut the toolpath with the text on the base 3d object?
