Hi team,
I’d like to create a list of single digit numbers that are mapped to the inside perimeter of a circle, but are vertically aligned at a specific location.
At the moment I’m setting the text to follow the circular path, then ungrouping the numbers and rotating them one-by-one to that they’re readable at the 90 and 180 degree locations on the circumference (pic of the output attached below).
Unfortunately, not the behaviour I’m after.
From the reference image, the wheel on the left rotates clockwise, and the numbers have to be readable only at the 3 o’clock (90 degree) position.
The wheel on the right rotates anticlockwise and the numbers have to be readable only at the 9 o’clock (180 degree) position.
That is what I am currently doing. The purpose of this post is to determine if there’s a faster way of doing it as I’d like to try many different fonts and don’t relish the manual process.
Here is a picture of a prototype. The cog rotates around to a display hole, so that only one number on the wheel is visible at a time. At the moment I have to manually rotate each number to have the correct orientation at the viewing point.
