I am trying to remake an placard drawing (these are just labels or stickers) in Solidworks (it used to be made in AutoCAD). What I have been doing is extruding a very thin block and then extrude cutting the text into it, using a design table due to the large number of these placards.
The problem is when I put this into a drawing Solidworks is trying to print this text as a bubble letter or the outline of the letter as opposed to regular text.Is there a way to make the text look like it did in AutoCAD.
Here is the orignal drawing:
and here is the result when using the extrude cut.
This is the model that I used to make this example
In addition is there a way to get the titles below each placard to auto populate. The text printed on it is a configuration property of the part and every other dimension is already in a design table.
