Curved Text

So I got a round PCB. How do I make my text curved to align with the outline, ideas anyone?

masamasa over 4 years ago

do u use autocad?

u can create a text along a curved line on autocad, convert the text into polylines, and save the file as dxf. then u can import it to ur board file.

u can watch this youtube as to how to create the text.

Thank's Masamasa, that's ofcourse one way of doing it to get a pattern from another tool import it as .dxf or idf or whatever.

But is there a way bending the text inside Allegro?

there is a skill script to convert a text to lines.

u can refer to the following.

once converting to lines, u can bend them all u want.
