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 Larry Cameron NZ h
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.
