Make text follow curve

I am trying to make a sign with a word arched across the top. I can't seem to get anything but a straight line for the word. I know in artcam it allowed me to tell the text to follow a line (Curve, Diagonal, etc). Is this possible?

  • I watched the youtube video on this, but I don't seem to have the "follow Curve" option in my version. Is this an add-on?

  • So I figured it out.

    when i set the constraints to none, it appeared. So I guess i'm an idiot :)

  • Hi Paul,

    If you have the Tool Settings: Text Tool panel displayed, but its On a Curve settings are hidden, then you have selected either the Method list's Limit by Box or Scale by Box option within the Constraints settings. When wrapping vector text on a curve, you must ensure the Method list's None option is selected within the Constraints settings.

    Thanks for your time and consideration.
