If the curve isn't too extreme, you can do it with planar mapping.

Set the projection to Forward only and make sure the decal is positioned at the back extreme of the arc.

Hello Peter,

I think I don't understand your procedur. You map a decal with a planar command on a curve ? Doesn't work. The panel I'm using have a thickness 1/2" I am a new NXT user !

 

Thanks again

Select the panel.

Go to nXt object properties.

Right click in the decals area and select New- Planar decal.

For the outside face of the arc select the bottom left corner, top left corner  and then bottom right corner and return.

Re-select the panel.

Go to nXt object properties.

Right click on the decal and select Properties.

Set the decal direction to Forward only.

For the inner face of the arc you'll need to temporarily draw a rectangle as shown and then repeat the process.
