Place text along a round route

Former Member

I know you can place text rotated with this command: Text SR15 '3' (28 7);

But I need to place that text along a circle width a 28mm diameter.

 

Now I could make a script for all 48 numbers, run it and place them by hand

along a circle line.

But is it possible to do the same with text, as I would do placing holes,

and if so how does the command looks like?

 

Regards

    If you generate a script, this could as well contain the needed

    coordinates on the circle. (I would write a small script generator in

    Delphi, if I'd need this functionality more than once.)

    If you need it only once: I think there is a ULP that places copies of

    some objects in a circle at regular angles - it was mentioned here (in

    one of the groups) not too long ago. You could use that to generate

    circular copies of one number, and then "change text" on them manually.

    Please read HELP - Editor Commands - Command Syntax:

    P   Polar coordinates (relative to the mark, x = radius, y = angle in

         degrees, counterclockwise)
