Text around a face of a circle
Unfortunately, today this is not easy to do. The only way I've managed to do this is to position each character separately. It's not really acceptable, we realize, and enhanced text capabilities are on our roadmap.
The only workaround that I'm aware of is to do the text in another program that can produce SVG or DXF output, and import that into Fusion.

If you're running Mach3 I made post for 4 axis wrapping, it converts the X or Y axis to and angle to machine on the surface of a cylinder. If you're using a different control I might be able to setup a post for it if you have some time for testing.
Here's a link to the thread, might be worth using that thread if you need any help.

Thinking about this a bit more I think you want the text to follow an arc not on the surface of a cylinder so this program might help. Deskengrave It has the option to save as a DXF file.
