OK, I just picked up a CD printer and I've been going over different layouts for a CD face.What I can't figure out how to do is this:IMG SRC=http://www.thewaxmuseum.bc.ca/port_print/alr02_CDFACE.gif>See the track listing on the left side coming off the CD hub like sun rays or pins in a pincushion?I can't get my head around how to do this in CS2. Is there some some path/text trick I just don't know?Can somebody please school me on this?Thanks

    there are a few ways to acheive this.

    what I would do, is make 2 paths: _ _ and the same thing vertical centered with the circle. group the 2 paths that are across from eachother separately. then select the perpendicular groups, set your blend options to a few steps.....as many as you need for the tracks, blend/make. Expand the paths, and use them as text paths. Should work like a charm. Mathematically too.

    You could always resize the font, and manually rotate and place each track in accordance to where you want it to be. A little bit easier.
