    Hi,

    Just a brief question.
    In Autocad 2004, how do I align text around a (reference) curve ?
    I mean, each character should be rotated according to the curvature of
    a given entity, like an arc, for example. (I searched the online help
    but could find any references on this subject).

    Thank you,

    Fernando Ronci

    Google for "curvetext.zip" and you will find a LISP (arx) which
    does the job.

    If you use ArcAlignedText in Express Tools as mentioned, consider that
    it may not be readable/editable if you send the drawing to someone
    without Express Tools.

    I don't know anything about the lisp mentioned, but there are lisp
    routines that calculate the position of each letter and use regular TEXT
    entities - which of course show up fine anywhere the drawing goes. The
    downside to this method of course is editing.
