Hey DK1,
Sorry mate...you had the question regarding text on an arc right??? OK. There is a function in the V19 software that allows you to fit text to path. It's in the Dimensions menu. First draw the arc, then the text. Select both and then go to the Dimensions menu and select "Fit Text to Path." You will then be asked to position the text in the new box. Make the settings that you want and click OK. This will produce the desired effect. Then use the "smash text" function to break up the true type fonts into machinable segments. You can also use the planar surface functions to create solid fonts easily as seen in the image below. Go for it and let me know how you make out!
Sincerely,
CNC Dude
