Hi Philip,

MoI doesn't yet have this as a specific Tool or Feature.
Like you, I also do jewellery & it's something that I'm hoping will make it into V3.
At the moment the easiest way is to Copy & Paste your various components into Rhino4 & do it there.
The R4 command needed is "FlowAlongSurface".

If you don't have Rhino4 then it can be done in MoI, but it'll just take a lot more time.
You'll basically have to work out your text & position each one individually.
I've also used Points & Array-Circular to get even positions then use the Points to align the text to.

HTH, Colin
