Command line: ARCTEXT
The command creates the Arc Text type object along the curve selected arc

An arc text is associated with the arc along which it is built. It changes its position and stretch with the change in the length and curvature of the arc itself.


The arc text has its own grips that allow you to adjust the value of its offset above/below the arc and the offset along the arc from its left or right edge.

All arc text options can be edited in the Properties bar or in the Arc Aligned Text Settings dialog box, which opens by double-click on the object.
After running the command, specify the arc (Arc object (ARC)) along which the text should be placed.
After specifying the arc, the Arc Aligned Text Settings dialog box opens:

Options:

	Drop-down list to select a text style.
	Drop-down list to select a font file that specifies the character style.
	Drop-down list to select the text color.

Text formatting

	On convex side	Positions text on the outside of the arc at the distance specified in the Offset from arc parameter
	On concave side	Positions the text on the inside of the arc at the distance specified in the Offset from arc parameter.
	Outward from the center	Positions the text so that its base is closer to the center of the arc and its top is farther away.
	Inward to the center	Positions the text so that the top of the text is closer to the center of the arc and the bottom is farther away.

Width factor	Specifies the compression ratio for text characters. More than one – character expansion. Less than one – character compression.
Char spacing	Specifies spacing between characters.
Offset from arc	Specifies the distance from the arc line to the nearest edge (top or bottom) of the text line. This parameter is also controlled by the central text grip
Offsdet from left	Specifies the indent of a text line from the left end of the arc. This parameter is also controlled by the left text grip.
