TEXT TRACK – Create Text Along Objects
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
When using the program, you will first set up all the parameters for the text such as height, width and also select the designed Output to keep as text, convert to vectors (Contour) or 3D. When done with all the parameters, pick OK and then pick the object to follow its path (Polyline, Circle, Ellipse, Spline, Rectangle, etc.). Pick the object as prompted and then move the block of text interactively to the desired position.
The prompt remains active to allow text movement along the selected object and also text rotation (right-click to rotate incrementally). When done with positioning, press <Enter> and the final conversion will run to create the Contour, Hatch or 3D solids. If you do not want to convert right away, use the Text Only output to leave as usable text.
