Curving Text

[Alex Beardshaw]

I am using LT2007.

I want to know if its possible to curve text around a circle like a badge that has text going all the way around the edge.

Can anyone help me with how to do this if at all possible.

Many Thanks

Go to the Forum SEARCH and type 'CURVED TEXT' in and that will answer your question.

that's an Express Tool, or Lisp function. unless LT 2007 has it, you can't do it.

pull up the Help file and type "arc text" or something like it... see if anything comes up. i doubt it will do it tho.... :-(

Arc aligned text in Express tools. Only if you have it install in your computer.

cheers

Nope not on LT. Can't run lisps and I don't think LT has express tools

LT doesn't have the Express tools
You may try to import into AutoCAD texts created with other applications like Corel or even Word. See this link for some ideas:

There are 3rd party add-ins for LT which add Express Tools. Some are freeware, some are available at cost. Usually, you need to get the version for your specific release of AutoCad. Try this web site: http://www.hot4cad.com/download.html. I think it's one of the free ones. Good luck!
