how to figure radius for tapered cup and cut vinyl

Recommended Posts

Ok guys, we have a special young lady who my wife wants a design put on a special coffee cup.  I've got the design work done but since it tapers (2.75" to 3.50" at the top and 4.50" tall), and I want the text to read horizontal, how do I set the curve for each line?  I'm done with the semester, my brain hurts, and I'm sick...help a fella out :huh:

ok, searched youtube and came up with just selecting everything in SCAL and selecting the "wrapper" function under the "effects" tab.  enter your diameter at the top of where your text will be, then the dia at the bottom, then the height of the taper....then all kinds of mystical stuff happens and it makes it curved at the right taper.  :ph34r:
