Additional Product Information
Glyph allows engineers using I-DEAS to quickly add text features to;their I-DEAS models for manufacturing and visualization. Using;Glyph, engineers can create a text part in the form of a True Type;Font outline . Once the text has been created, it can be added as a;feature to another part with I-DEAS modeling. The text can be used;for adding a model number, model name, logo name or other text;embellishment to the physical part.;At present, to place text onto a part in I-DEAS requires a DXF file;containing two-dimensional font geometry created in another;application (most likely on a PC). The file must be read into;Drafting as a two-dimensional wireframe, then transferred to Master;Modeler for creating a section. This is a daunting task for an;experienced I-DEAS user with system administration knowledge,;requiring at least forty-five minutes to complete.;Glyph can reduce the time to mere seconds by placing a section in;the shape of a font outline directly onto the Master Modeler/;Surfacing workplane.;Glyph is an open architectural program launched from within I-DEAS;that allows the user to create a section in the shape of a True Type;Font outline. Once running, the user can enter a line of text, part;name, part number, and select a True Type Font. There are options;for scaling width and/or height that can maintain text aspect ratio;if desired. The user can define the width and/or height using the;built-in I-DEAS measure command. The outline can then be moved or;projected onto a part surface so that it may be extruded.
