Andreas, hi.
To put numbers 00 to 49 around a circle here are the steps I used.
Basically, I used Text on a path and Effects>Transform. All text is live.
Draw a circle. Stroke Color None, Fill Color None.
With the Line Tool, Draw a stroke line.
Align your line inside circle and align center.
With Type on Path Tool, Click on line. I typed in 00 for placeholder text. I used Myriad Pro 14pt, Paragraph is Center aligned
With White arrow tool, adjust both Handles to the ends.
Type>Type on a Path>Type Options, Change to Center.
Select both your circle and Type on a Path. Group.
Effect>Transform. Here on my settings. (360/50=angle 7.2) need 49 copies.
Expand Effect>Transform.
I ungrouped x2
Type in your numbers.
As you can see, the left side, the numbers are upside down.
So, Select numbers 26-49, Type>Type on a Path>Type Options, Check Flip.
