Upper Arc

Use the Upper Arc path to place your text around the outside of the upper half of a circle. As with the Circle path,
Create initially sizes the semicircle based on the length of your text, and centers the text. Use the Radial Super Text inspector (accessed by clicking on the First inspector icon in the inspector bay) to adjust the radius and the Rotation wheel on the Scale / Rotate inspector to set text placement.

At 0 degrees rotation, the text will start at the 9 o'clock position. To move the text towards the end of the text (in this case, clockwise), increase the number of degrees of rotation.


Lower Arc

Use the Lower Arc path to place your text around the outside of the lower half of a circle. As with the Circle path,
Create initially sets the size of the semicircle based on the length of your text and centers the text. Use the Radial Super Text inspector (Lower Arc's First inspector) to adjust the radius and the Rotation control on the Scale / Rotate inspector to set text placement (see Circle above for information on these controls). As with the Circle and Upper Arc paths, increasing the rotation moves the text towards the end of the text; however, in Lower Arc mode, that means the text moves counterclockwise.
