    Default How to invert text writing under a curve

    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.

    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

    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.
