Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker - Manual (Page 70)

Anti-Clockwise: Curved text will circle your label in an anti-clockwise direction.
Auto Choose: Curved text will circle in a clockwise direction if it's primarily on the top half of the
label, and anti-clockwise if it's primarily on the bottom half. For spiral text, it will always go
clockwise. If you have the Fit Curve to Label option checked, your text object will be centered
on the label, so it will usually go clockwise.
Starting Angle:
Use Horizontal Orientation: The software will use your horizontal-orientation setting to
determine where the text should start. If you've chosen left orientation, the text will start at the
leftmost edge of your text object. If you've chosen right orientation, it will end at the rightmost
edge of your text object. If you've chosen centered orientation, the text should both start and
finish an equal distance from the center of your text object. Note that if your text is in spiral
mode and it fills more than one complete revolution, the text will be treated as if it's left
justified, regardless of your horizontal orientation setting.
Fixed Angle: The text will begin at the angle you choose. 0 degrees is directly to the right (3
o'clock). The angle increases in a counterclockwise direction, so 12 o'clock is 90 degrees, 9
o'clock is 180 degrees, and 6 o'clock is 270 degrees. If you've got the Fixed Angle setting
checked, you can click on the circle to the right of the "Fixed Angle" radio button to choose a
start angle, or you can use the spin control on the edit box underneath the "Fixed Angle" radio
button to adjust your start angle by one degree at a time.
