Hello there,

I need to do some text in AutoCAD 2004 LT but instead of the text being in a straight line it needs to go circular for example around the face of a button. Does anybody know of a way to do this without putting in each letter on it's own and trying to rotate individually?

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Not sure if LT has this option but type "arctext" in the command line. This option as you might have guessed will allow you to align text around an arc.

ARCTEXT is an Express Tool, so it's not available in LT. Lisp routines are also not available for LT, so I don't know how you would accomplish this task without manually placing each letter. You might want to look into purchasing a LT Extender program.
