Does anybody know how to enter curved text in Altium PCB editor?
For instance, you have an arc and you want to put some string to follow the curve of the arc. I couldn't find that option anywhere and also I didn't find anything on the internet.

Altium seems entirely happy to generate DPAK-style footprints with arbitrary numbers of leads and arbitrary pitch:
You may have to override most of the default dimensions, but that should still be easier then doing it manually.
I haven't gotten really familiar with AD 14 yet, but you could just write two rules, Top_Clearance and Bottom_Clearance.
Top clearance has Where The First Object Matches: Layer Top
Where The Second Object Matches: Layer Top
Bottom_Clearance is similar. Although I've never seen a clearance check problem between two LAYERS. If I remember correctly, this is how AD 10 works too. Maybe you need to define some more accurate/realistic 3D bodies? Or maybe I don't fully understand your problem.

You can create it with some appropriate tool such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape (open-source) and then import it as you would a logo.
(There's probably also some way to do it with scripting, but I guess it would be more difficult to learn that than use a tool designed for graphic editing).
