    Default Did I Imagine it

    Or did there use to be an option when putting text on a curve to have the text follow the curve or stand upright?

    I cannot find it in Extreme or Extreme Pro.

    Hi Christine,

    When texttool selected,draw a "small" red line(smaller as the text you need)
    Then type your words and it will show up standing down
    When applied to followcurve,you can move along the line using the left handle
    in texttoolmode

    Hi Christine,
    It is in the same place as always, in the "Arrange" menu right at the bottom.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    Sorry I did not explain myself very well - I know where the fit text to curve is I thought there used to be an option to have the text standing upright on the curve like in the second image.

    I suspect you are confusing this with the ability of a blend along a curve to be upright or follow the curvature.

    You could use a mould to give that sort of effect (though the individual characters will be slightly distorted).
