    can somebody tell me how to create (true type) text on an arc or circle in solid modeller 12.5, also does any body out there have a post processor for the Anilam M/L control for a Harrison M250 or M500 with front quick change toolpost, I believe the control has the early software version, but I can get it upgraded.
    Thanks Blakey, and happy new year to all from Wales

    Ive been told that neither edge cam design nor modler will print text on a arc.
    But there are other forms of software that you can use and import into molder or edge cam.

    Another option, Inkscape, convert to dxf, then open dxf in your cad/cam program.

    In EC Design.....
    Custom - Extras - CreateArcText or Create Text On Profile.

    It works pretty well.
