I am working on making my own lithophane calling card in freecad, but i find it a Bit of a hassel that i cant just turn a whole textblock into a extrusion. Right now i make every single line with a seperate ShapeString but there has to be a better way.

How are you working with multiple lines of text in your models?

    When I want to extrude text in FreeCAD, I will create it as a SVG in Inkscape and import the SVG. I then make Shape binders of the SVG bodies and extrude them.

    I’ve used Shapestrings for text, but it’s no fun. I find it easier to make in Inkscape.
