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

Here's a good video on curved text.

I have watched that video many times... I have tm version 9.....it will not curve text

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

Yes I knew that...but it is the cost that is prohibitive right now

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.
