About Scott Cook
Expertise
I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!

Experience
Since 1987. Author of Plot2000 software for for AutoCAD, http://www.plot2000.com. PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ONLY PLEASE. Questions that are NOT related to programming or AutoCAD customization (menus and lisp only please) are outside the scope of my volunteer services and will NOT BE ANSWERED.

AutoCAD - text


Expert: Scott Cook - 1/5/2005

Question
Just looking for a quick text enhancment. Have been using autoCAD for over 15 years now and usually can find what I'm lookig for fairly easily in the help index if needed, but wondered if ou knew - off the top of your head :-)  a way to automatically arrange text AROUND an object, say a circle?  Obviously there are ways around this (I array a letter around a circle then go and change each individual letter) that really doesn't take much time, but wondered if there was a quicker tip that might help.

BTW I am running AutoCAD 2002.

Thanks for your time and service!
Marian

Answer
yes, I used to have a lisp routine that did that - I don't know what happened to it, but I know it was shareware. I think it was called arctxt, or arctext.
you should do a bit of a search on some of the lisp shareware sites. a quick google search revealed this:
