Circular Text

It would be nice to type a text in a circular pattern, arc, or spline.
The text will follow the curve.

and how many times you would use this ridiculous feature?
I mean honestly, if you wanted to use that as a building feature good luck with the documenting. if you are after presentation materials get appropriate tools for that eg. Illustrator/Photoshop etc..

Try these two threads for work-arounds involving exploding the 3d text library part and pasting the lines as a new line-type -

It was such a 'ridiculous' idea it even got tech-tip of the month!

I know I could use it for entering bearing and length text on curved property lines (2D), and for address or building names over arched entries (3D)

I think it's a pretty cool idea actually.
Like you said; curved property lines:(we have some of those), how about curved swimming pool notations, lots of curved landscaping notes and???
