Text following curve with upright letters

[Piet]

Hello

Just right now, I can't find a possibility to attach a text to a curve with upright letters.

Found nothing in help text and nothing here in the forum.
Can someone help me?

I'm not sure what you mean, but, if you are saying that the letters are on the wrong side of the curve?
Then you can righ-click, on the text and select reverse text on curve.

If you mean that you want the letters to follow the curve, but still be upright (vertical) on that curve, then I don't know.
And, I'm not sure that it can be done?

Hello Rik

Sorry - It is the second possibility, that I mean.

This was made with another product.
This is the function, I used there.

I love Xara, cause it is so fast and it can do marvelous things.
I can't believe, that it can't do this.

You could use the mold tool. It's not a perfect solution but it works.

Break the letters apart (Arrange > Convert to Editable Shapes then Ungroup two times) and arrange the characters manually.

That other product would not rhyme with Doral would it?

Yes it - would.

Sorry gwpriester - but Your solution just arranges normal letters on the curve, it doesn't stretch the letters on its own.
Take a closer look on the "H", it is deformed according the curve.
