    Can anyone curve text around a circle for me if I send the file?

    Being able to curve path would be part of the Pro Text module which is an addition to the standard CAD

    This feature was only available in Cad 7 and 8, not available in Cad 9 without the Protext Module. Even in Cad 7 and 8 it was a stripped down feature and to get the full benefit you would need Protext as well.

    I have to say. The protext module was one of the great things I bought when I got my table. It just saves so much time.

    The Clipart (cdl)from Torchmate, and I am not sure if it comes with the cad module or the protext, but nearly every image I attempt to use is just poorly designed. Sorry Torchmate but there should be a better selection than what is offered. Like a package from Signtorch or Jason's or Cascade Design or similar.

    Just my honest and tried opinion

    BobCad has a clipart package, I will tell you a some of the drawings are not plasma friendly without a little work because they have so much detail, great for a plate marker though.
