Wrap Text

I have a 7 inch long half circle piece I am sketching up. The company wants their name engraved in the top around the curve. I know how to put text on, but I can not figure out how to make it wrap around a curve. Do I need to make a plane on the top of the curve?

Thanks

I think you answered your own question. Use Sketch Text command then the Wrap command

I did answer itmyself to a certain point, however, I couldn't figure out all the steps to make it work. So thanks for the step by step.
