When text is on the top, it places the text outside the circle. When text is on the bottom, it's on the inside of the circle.

Wow, didn't know that the "center text" option also works for text on path. I'm definitely using this method from now on, saves you a lot of hassle. Golden tip!

In computer graphics the starting point for angles is to the "East" (with "North" being straight up); with positive angles moving clockwise. That is why the first text you place on a circle is where it is - not a random position. When you centred the text on the circle the centre point of the text will be placed at the 180 degree point (due "West"). You then used the "Rotate by 90 Clockwise" tool on the circle to position the text at the top; so you did, in fact, rotate the circle despite claiming no rotation was required.

@@agerray That because the text is left aligned against the eastern line. So starting at zero degrees (which is the right side of the circle) and keep moving clockwise. If the test started out right aligned, then your text would End at the eastern line. When it's centered, it's in the middle between the start and end, or on the oposite side of the circle. - Inkscape developer

Great howto Nick. I'm not sure I'd have a use for putting text outside top and inside bottom of a circle unless the bottom circle was made larger and would be on two different paths. Both would be outside, or both would be inside, no? It seems I read some howto somewhere about Inkscape having controls for the text alignments and offsets from path, but I've forgotten how I did it previously. Maybe it was a dialog help, but the acrobatics involved with putting text on path is a load of guess-work and seems rather a hack than an official approach. I guess they say, "If you don't use it you lose it." Finding information in any official Inkscape manual is a whole other chore unlike Krita unfortunately. I'd love to have an offline PDF manual for the up2date Inkscape tools and even better if it came loaded with the program at install. Nonetheless your videos are an inspiration to achieving more with Inkscape. Cheers.

Had an issue, but I figured it out. Explaining it here to save anyone else the headache. When I used "object flip" vertical or horizontal, the text seemed to disappear. Flip 90 deg worked fine, though. This is because when you use flip vert or hor, the text goes inside the edge of the circle. This is apparent in the video, but not pointed out. If the text and the circle are the same color, the text will appear to be gone. Just change some colors, and voila.

Duplicate the circle, select the duplicated circle and move it a little so you can tell them apart. Select the original circle and press CTRL+Z to undo the move. Your selection will stay on the original circle. Then hold CTRL and Shift and drag out from a corner until the top of the text is aligned with the bottom of the duplicated circle.
