Hi All

sorry for the simple questions, but I'm stuck, I have a extruded circle , I would like to attach some extruded text to it. so the each character is extruded at right angle to the place it's attached.

I tried starting with text curve , projected it on to the surface, then extruded it, but I have 2 problems, 1. How do I make the text solid,? 2. how do "bond" the text to the circle?


Cheers, Steve
