Can this be done or do you need to position and rotate each letter individually?
Thanks

Enter as much information about your CNC hardware and software as you can - it makes it easier for everyone to know what you're talking about then.

Good question - its not a feature thats currently available, but high on the list for being added - lots of signs and designs require this kind of feature.

For the time being, you would have to do it manually.

To save some time, you can create one letter and create a circular repeat pattern and then edit each of the other letters - I've done this before and its quite easy to get the rotary text in the right place.

Hi,

Instead of using only 2D design in order to produce your pieces of work, why don't you try using other graphic softwares such as Corel Draw?
It's far more complete than 2D design and it's abled to draw text around any curve.

All you have to do later it's just copying and pasting into 2D Design template.
