Tom,
Unless you are the pattern shop/foundry, why don't you just put the text where you want it on the drawing then have a note stating what you want.
If you really have to put the raised/engraved text on your casting/mould and it is in an area with non-planer faces there are a couple of add-ins available for text on models.

Merry,
I'll using the note approach. Thanks for the thought.
Tom
