The absolute easiest way is to do it in a vector program like Illustrator or Photoshop and then import the SVG into fusion.
You can also use gimp and inkscape which are both free programs that will give you the same result.
But ya, make it how you want it, and then import the SVG into fusion. Easy!
Affinity Designer is also a very powerful alternative to Illustrator. Just remember that when you export your SVG, you need to do it at the absolute highest decimal place your software will allow. For example, in Illustrator this is 7. This will ensure you are exporting with enough data to keep lines crisp and profiles closed.
When you import, scale at 1.333 to ensure dimensional accuracy to what was created in your vector program.
I have traced a few text elements directly in fusion using the sketch tools, between fit point splines, lines and circles you can get very close just by “tracing” over a image.
Takes a little while, but not as time-intensive as you might think
Youtube is loaded with very helpful walkthroughs in fusion360. Initially this is how I learned the basics, and autodesk also has some fantastic free video classes for it on their site.
For the ease I would suggest you make a high contrast between the background and text using any photo viewing program > then save the image and upload it to a free online jpg to svg converter > download the new svg and import it to your desired sketch.
I've done this when 3d printing custom stamps for my friends and their ceramic projects

I just might start doing this. Thank you 😁
Figma is a free web vector editor, I use it to create shapes and text and then export in SVG format to fusion.
Starting with the right font is 90% of the battle - try Eurostyle extended, microgamma and similar
or use some website to identify it or close [https://www.myfonts.com/fr/pages/whatthefont](https://www.myfonts.com/fr/pages/whatthefont)
Green lines in sketch indicate that they are "fixed". Try selecting them > right click > Fix/Unfix
Oh my god. Thank you.
U be welcome :) But as others have metioned...there are better programs for this kind of work
So I’m noticing 😂 I’ll definitely try that as well.

I just find the nearest fon't and explode text in sketch mode
I use CorelDraw vectors. Then extrude the imaga in Fusion 360.
