    Default Curved Text for 2011 LT

    Is there a command that allows text to follow a given radius or curve? Or is there a method easier than putting the letters in individually.

    Try ._ArcText, but I think this is still an express tool for AutoCAD (n/a in LT).

    There is no single command for it in LT.

    Explore using DIVIDE or MEASURE command to distribute a letter (as a block) across the curve, then explode and edit each letter manually.

    This is supposedly DIESEL code that will work in LT (I did not test)
