Custom Shapes for Text on a Path

In addition to the Path Text shapes already installed with your
Pacesetter BES Lettering software, you can create and save
your own shape, using the Edit baseline command.

points when in Edit baseline mode; you can convert the anchor
point to Line, Cusp, Smooth, or Symmetrical. See "Changing
the Anchor Point Type".

1 Select the Path Text tool and use it to create a text segment.
2 With the Path Text still selected, right-click and choose Edit
baseline from the options menu.
The baseline shape appears along the bottom of the text,
showing the anchor points (blue squares).

following:
