For bent objects, the position of the center and the position of the object in terms of the center are specified in the Geometry window. You can open the window by clicking the Object > Geometry menu.
The following input fields are available in the Center area:
X
Specifies the X coordinate of the center point (which the object is rotated around).
Y
Specifies the Y coordinate of the center point (which the object is rotated around).
The following input fields are available in the Rotation area:
Start
Specifies the position of the text in relation to the center point. The starting point of the text is the left edge of the first character. The division into degrees is the one commonly used in mathematics: 0 degrees is on the right at the height of the midpoint and the units progress in a counterclockwise direction.
Arc
Specifies the arc to apply to the text. Selecting 180 degress, for example, bends the text in a semicircle.
