Aligning text vertically, horizontally and at an angle
Accepted solution
I did a few numbers on a circle. The text boxes are centered on the construction lines but you have to remember a zero takes a lot more space than a one digit. Model is attached.

Here's how I got them aligned:
1. Create a sketch point in the intersection.
2. Use the midpoint constrain to constrain the sketch point to the text's bottom boundary box
3. Use a tangent constraint to get the text's bottom boundary box tangent with the construction circle
4. Use a dimension to define text size
1. I did not use a sketch point anywhere. I used the Midpoint of the text box for applying constraints. You can find this point by holding down the Shift key while hovering over the location in the sketch mode.
2. See number 1, skip the sketch point
3. As you can see in my model, I just used a dimension from the center. Either method is just fine.
4. You can specify the text height in the Text dialog box, why use a dimension?
Looking at your model. You have not created any components. It will be hard, when you do, to get the different bodies and their controlling sketches into the component.
