Hello friends,

Sometimes we might need to align some text to an ARC. This can cause quite a headache if you’re not aware that there is a quick and simple way to do just that.

Although we can’t use this command to write text on complete circles, we can remove the tiniest bit from the circle and thus make it an arc, before we use the command _arctext

After activating the arctext command and specifying the arc, we will type the required text in a dialog boz that will pop up.

Different settings can be adjusted in this dialog box:

• Text Height
• Text spacing
• Text inversion
• Placing the text inside/outside the arc
• Specifiying the space between the text and the arc.

Have a nice day…
