Re: Radial text on inside of path

Thanks for the quick reply.

How to explain this..........
Currently if I type in Ucase, 3072670-USP, and rotate around the
circles(5"dia.) center to the 12 o'clock position it is easy to
read looking straight on.
If I now rotate the text around the circles center to the 6 o'clock
position, it is now upside down.
At 6 o'clock I want to read the text right side up.
Hope you can follow as I'm not sure if were saying the same thing.

Thanks,
Rick
