Following Arc on back window

Recommended Posts

I have a photo of the S10 Blazer I took and import it into my LXi to show what the text will look like on there. My question is what is the best way to get the text to follow the arc at the top of the window. I want to match my text to the arc. Should I make my workspace the same size and the window and to it that way so it stays at scale or is there a general rule or formula to use to get the desired effect I am looking for?

Take a 6' ruler and lay it across the window so the top corners of the windshield line up with the top of the ruler.

Arc it along the curvature of the window.

Measure the distance in the middle of the windshield to the ruler. (Dim 1)

Measure distance across the windshield on the ruler. (Dim 2)

This will give you 3 ponts to create your arc from.
