I'm trying to design a logo, and I'm hitting the wall with being able to have the text under the curve, but inverted, so I can read it. I would like the text under the curve, as I may not have another curve under the logo border. Take a look, and you can see what I mean about the text

Scrap my post below - just twigged you need text under the circle! Gary and Egg have it covered :-)
Hello AK
Probably many better ways to do this but I:
1) created circle like your inner one
2) create seperate text line 'Niagra Giants'
3) selected both then choose Arrange -> fit text to curve
4) created outer orange circle and put to back
I also used rotate on the circle and adjusted the text's baseline.
Like this? If so Flip Vertically, Flip Horizontally.
Further to what Gary's said above.
Once the text is fitted to the curve or the circle, you can turn it in a circular motion, if that's what's desired.
And you can right-click and choose 'Reverse Text on Curve'
You should be able to get the desired result by doing one, or the other, or both.
Never knew there was a reverse text on a curve Rik. New one on me. It automatcally changes the ellipse to a shape. Learn something new every day :)
Thanks guys, this is perfect.Quote:

Been there since day 1 Egg.
I always have problem using reverse text on a curve (it drives me crazy) if you move the text it does remain aligned, I'm attaching a xar file, try to move the text and see how circles missalign.
Pay attention to distance between t and inner circle after and before moving the text.
Best regards.
I found the problem, it appears when you instead moving the text, rotate the circle.
Best regards.
It's fairly straight forward to explain why. If you 'fit text to a curve', in your case a circle, say 200px x 200px, if the text fits outside the circle (or is lower case with characters protruding below the base line) the text plus the circle is no longer of equal dimensions & the centre of rotation is no longer in the centre of the circle.
Here's how to avoid this:
EDIT: Just saw you've found a solution, which works equally as well :)
Wow Egg terrific explanation, I didn't realize to look the rotation signal, you're right that's the problem.
Thank you very much for your time, You know fit text isn't something you use everyday I hope to remember the tips next time, this matter got me ungry many times.
Best regards and again thank you so much
