Yes, it is really important to input text along curves or rings and specific paths!

At this time you will need a third party program to export the bent text to DFX and then import the DFX and extrude it.

What is the best 3rd party program (Free if possible)? Thanks.

Inkscape is free. But that might depend on your platform. Probably not on iPad.

Vectornator can export as svg. Haven’t tried it so I don’t know it’s capabilities.
