Has to be an easier way??

How do I get my text to arch, specifically the "On Duty" part like that? Whenever I try "fit text to path" it just put it at the top of the circle...if that makes sense?

I run into this all the time.... pretty sure this video helped me last time!

When you fit text to path, you can grab it and move it anywhere on the path you want, top or bottom of the path, plus there are invert and reverse buttons to move it to the other side of path and make it backwards and forwards. You can also pull it away from the path. The various distances are set by numbers in boxes on the toolbar as well.

Short cut for this if you want, is right click on the text and hold, drag to the path your are using and a little target forms, then let go and a box pops up, click on fit text to path.

In Gerber Omega, it's only a check box in the text editor and you specify the parameters (included angle, radius, etc..). There's no messing around with making circles and going through a litany of commands.

In addition to the parameters stated above, every text feature (font, size, outline/inline, etc...) remains editable / deletable at all times.

I'm speaking of Omega....not Graphix Advantage. The "good old days" are still here.

Ignoring the chatter about using other software to do this task:

A step further is to make a separate Corel drawing and have templates of each type of layout. Then all you have to do is change the copy and the font. You copy and past the element into your sign drawing.
