Circular text Upside Down
#4
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately I was not able to turn it around. When I rotated the path from the center of the circle, the path would go on the position I wanted it to be but the text was upside down and I couldn't change that by flipping it.

Use the Flip Tool, set to path mode, and flip your circle path vertically. Try again, text should be the right way up.

Explanation: Paths have a beginning and an end. And a direction. If the text is upside down it can be corrected by reversing the the direction of the path. Flipping the path vertically is a trick to reverse the direction, so corrects the text.

There is more info on working with paths here:

Ofnuts has many path tools, available from here:

First of all, thanks for the help!
When I flipped it once vertically and once horizontally, the text was in the right way but the curve of the text was in the opposite as the circle's curve, the curve wasn't on the path but opposite to it.
