JNWArchitect Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Is there any way to generate text along a curve? I'm trying to create a block of my architect's license stamps and they both have text that follows the circle of the stamp (see attached) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Personally, I would create those stamps using something else and bring them in as a picture, pdf, or cad file. You can create a custom line style with whatever text on it you like and then curve the line but I seem to get too many problems with uneven gaps and overlaps. Not sure if there is a good way to avoid these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericepv Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I'll second what DB said, a picture file is the best way to accomplish this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renerabbitt Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 You could also just place the individual letters and rotate around a point using the corresponding edit mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNWArchitect Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Thanks Guys! I've been using it as a .png file so I guess I'll continue to do so. Have a fantastic 2024! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon, if you have Autocad, you can use Express Tools "Arc Aligned" tool to create this kind of text. Or if you want, I can probably modify my stamp to match yours and send you the DWG, which you can import into Chief. Let me know. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNWArchitect Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Thanks JKE I used AutoCAD to originally create the stamps, but now have gone to using Chief 100% of the time and have let my AutoCAD subscription lapse. Thanks you for the kind offer, but since I'm planning to retire soon I think I'll just keep using the .jpeg / .png for now. Not sure why Chief can't replicate that "Arc aligned" tool...
