How to make text follow a curved line?

[Anonymous]

I'm drawing maps, I want to make text that will follow the curves on a river or mountain range how can I do that?

If you have the Express Tools tab showing on the ribbon, its the Arc Aligned text command or ARCTEXT at the command line.

I have AutoCAD 2016 for Mac. and it appears as though i don't have that
command.
I tried putting it into the command line and there were no hits.
it not in the express tools pallet either.
could someone confirm if this version does not have this company?

Hi,

If you do not have the tools available in your software package you can always look for a lisp routine that solves your problem.

A quick google search gave me this result from the Lee Mac website.

If you need more information about how to load and run a lisp routine you can follow the instructions from this AKN tutorial.
