Here is the tutorial.
Step 1
Start SolidWorks in Part mode.
Step 2
Draw a spline and make in construction geometry.
Step 3
Click on the text tool under sketch tab.
Step 4
Select the spline as the curve and write the text. Uncheck the Use Document font and click on font.
Step 5
Select Arial and change height type to points and select 72. & click OK.
