I did just that with LibreCAD.     The text is how  I got to using LibreCAD.  Much more intuitive to use test over the other product.

CAMBAM will read MText but does not interrupt it correctly.   So yeah you need to explode.

So what I did for above was to draw "compartments" in a circle using the array feature.  I added "tick marks"  every 18 degrees in the center of the "compartment" to give me a reference to center the number.  Since the tick marks were at 18 degrees it was easy to know how much to tilt each number,   I then just mirrored the whole thing.  

What I was hoping for is something like the array feature but for a string of characters.  Desk Engrave sort of does this but I have yet to figure out how to place the character at the degress I want.   Otherwise really nice add on product to your collection..
