Text orbit object

[handrawn]

having read through Mike Sims' tutorial that Fred linked, I dare say it could be adapted for text provided that the text was rotating on the same axis as his globe; it would be a lot of work; I only understand in principle what he is saying, no way would I attempt it in xara 3D; that said it would only work for rotating the text, not rotating text around something I am pretty sure xara3D does not do that, but willing as ever to be proven wrong [ED IT: see my next post ]
