Text orientation around a circle

Post by Davec1 »

Hi, I am trying to create artwork for a plaque which needs to have text following a circular path.

I have no problem making the text follow the circle BUT need the text at the bottom of the circle to be 'right way up', so that all text can be read without turning the plaque.

Text at top is no problem and covers approximately 20% of the circumference.

Text at the bottom covers about 35% of the circumference but follows around the circle in the same orientation to the circle as the text at the top and is therefore upside down.

I have tried doing these as separate actions but can find no way to get over this problem.

Help please, Dave

Here's a pretty good resource.

By the image I'm assuming this is a tutorial on exactly what you want to do.
