I’ve written a little python script which hands me a string of roman numerals for making a watch face. I’ve wrapped the text around the entirety of the border of the watch to give me my watch face using a curved text object; I am doing it like this since I’m pretty bad with photoshop and such and it seemed like an easy solution to create a 24h watchface with 0/24 o’clock at the bottom. This is how it looks like in wfs:
Although after uploading, it doesn’t look like this at all, please have a look:
As you can see there is a huge gap in the bottom (obviously there are hands there as well, but the outer ring of numbers is changed).
Is there any way to fix this? I’m trying this program for the first time, maybe there are some quirks I need to work around.
Add component
Index
Stick

Index Setting number 60
i’d simply use curved Text boxes for the 24 hour indicators if you want Roman Numberals
Hour hand rotation is 1 instead of 2 Start rotation at 180
Oh that’s much simpler, I’ve figured out the hands no issues but I wasnt aware you could pattern the sticks like that! I thought they were kinda for accents… Thanks for the tip, works like a charm!
You can do a lot of things with the Index make 60 shorter ones and 12 or 24 longer ones You can make your own custom image and use that as well you don’t have to use the sample ones.
I’m a bit stumped about the curved text… why does this keep happening? The looks vastly different on the PC vs on the watch itself. My guess is issues with the font but it’s very frustrating
@r.liechty_SDR I think he has issue with creating the image himself , not used to photoshop.
so i gave him links to go learn / and also created a image for him from his screenshots.
