Hi Daniel1,  
Is the curved text in the watch face imported with DWG after editing by other software? I have been looking forward to Shap3D to upgrade the function of editing text around curves and circles, which is very important! Unfortunately, I haven’t received a reply from the Shapr3D team so far.

I know the text function of Shapr3D, and I’m curious about how to make the text curved or rounded.

I don’t have much experience with other text formats. I only use text in sharp, I move the numbers or letters by group or one number or letter at a time.

Looking forward to Shapr3D’s early introduction of round or curved text editing function. This is really important!

It’s a great pleasure to see models like this in Shapr3D

Just like @Daniel1, I created this instrument Cluster by placing all of the numbers and lines individually.

I placed an element (number, line) individually at the 12 o’clock position then rotated it into it’s correct position before placing the next and so on…

 ![Instrument Cluster](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/2/0/208b46c5df9248310f92f11dbc335dca17463e88.jpeg)

_It’s a little time consuming but I think the results are worth it._

Thank you welshstve! I have also used this method, but it is not humane enough, very time-consuming and inconvenient. This is not a satisfactory feature! It is expected that Shapr3D will upgrade the round-circle text editing function in the near future.

Yes, I agree it is extremely time consuming and I hope that Shapr3D will release ‘text along a path’ in the not too distant future.
