@Geoff Thank you for the bus context. Don't get me started on the fickleness of MOT class designation.
Makes me chuckle how we drift on to breakfast cereals. FWIW I'm a muesli man myself. Best soaked with a fun size apple chopped up in it. Muesli eaten dried and straight from the packet with negligible soaking does little to promote the virtues of the stuff which originated as an ostensibly fresh fruit dish.
Thank you both for your replies.

GB -I remember your bus from the other forum - hello!
Ah, dragging the dot - Duh, how did I miss that? I didn't find that step in the Help instruction.
That does it and the character spacing is good. It won't let me add a second reverse arc of text to the same base circle. It gives the squiggly line on hover but that one wants to tweak the curve nodes. So I've copied and pasted a duplicate circle at the onset to carry the lower text arc then grouped the two together to manipulate them as a whole.
This is my first post on this forum. HELLO!
Drawplus X6 - Artistic text alignment to a circle.
Is there a way to align the top of the characters to a circle?
I have a circular logo with a text border. The text automatically aligns to the bottom of the characters.
I don't want any of the text to be "upside down" so I use the following method.
The text around the upper half of the circle runs clockwise and is outside the circle.
The text around the lower half of the circle runs anticlockwise but is inside the circle.
That is artistically displeasing because the top and bottom text aren't in the same annulus.
I have to put the lower text on a larger diameter circle. So I have to faff with 2 circles.
Furthermore , because it is anchored at the base of the characters the lower text folds in at the top necessitating an increase in character spacing to appear consistent with the text on the upper arc.
I've ploughed through the help and can't find any topics about aligning the top of the characters to a circle.
Thank you.
