This document provides instructions for wrapping text around a curved surface in OnShape. It involves revolving a 2D sketch into a curved surface, creating an offset plane above the surface, sketching text on that plane and extruding it to cut through and wrap around the curved surface below. The 23 steps guide the user through sketching the text, sizing and centering it, then using the extrude tool to cut the text shape out of the curved surface so it wraps around the shape as intended.
