Placing text on a curve or path

[Anonymous]

I'm using Autosketch 7 and wondered whether it is possible to place text on a curve like a circle or path, and how ?

Thanks

As I recall from previous posts, you cannot place a line of text on a
curved line so that the text is curved. You can however place
individual letters as separate text blocks, then snap those onto a curve
and rotate them to match the arc. A real messy way to do it but the end
result should be OK.

If you only need to do it once or twice its not so bad.

Is there a better way?

I have a macro that does this - but it works in Drafix, not Autosketch of
course!

Maybe AutoDesk can restore this feature soon? - Please??

The best way I found to do it is to use Word Art in MS-Word, and then drop
the word art into AS. It can be stretched and manipulated somewhat.
