I'm trying to figure out how to wrap text to a curved path within TURBOCAD v6. This is a rather simple operation in other graphics programs. Is TURBOCAD capable of this manipulation, if so, how is it done?

Yaa, I'm trying to do the same thing. My TurboCAD 2-D won't even let me make text flexible (under the properties menu.)

The only way I can figure to do it is to explode the letters and then move them by hand- a real pain to be sure! If you explode more than once you are left with an "outline" for every time you explode it (try it- explode like three times and then move the text away and you'll have two copies plus the original solid text.)

If you explode the "outlined" text (after exploding the solid text) it will let you modify individual segments.

Hope this helps.
