Re: Curved Text

 What I mean to do is to take extruded text and "tape" it 
horizontally around a cylinder ( as in 'your name' printed 
horizontally on a coffee cup). The problem with extruding the text 
mesh and then using boolean operations with two concentric cylinders 
is that the text will be distorted the further from center you go. I 
may sound complicated, but visualize writing text on a strip of 
paper, then covering with tape and wrap it around the cylinder 
horizontally.  Thanks for the interest, Joe, hope this clears up the 
confusion  --0  Bill
