Capt'n Morgan 54 Posted August 26, 2014 I was working in Graphtec Studio and found a Option where you could make a Arched Line, then attach the text to it. The problem is, I want to remove the Arched line and Keep the arched text. Anyone done this. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted August 26, 2014 I have GS and a CE5000 but never fired the software up. However, most of it is similar with text on a path where you just convert the text to curves (paths) and then delete the arc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go-C Graphics 856 Posted August 26, 2014 Or what I do in Inkscape is make the line transparent. Then you can still manipulate the line later if you need to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmas 119 Posted August 26, 2014 Or what I do in Inkscape is make the line transparent. Then you can still manipulate the line later if you need to. I think this is the only way. But when you make the cut, it will cut the arch. You need to cut by color and make sure the color of the arch isn't selected and doesn't appear in the preview before you cut. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30-284 86 Posted August 27, 2014 Try this. Open your modify window, then put your grab handles around your text then hit release. See if that will work for you. As Krow said converting to path then delete the arc will also work, just a different way of skinning the cat. Donn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
express2100 154 Posted August 27, 2014 It's pretty easy and is done on the design page.... Select both the text and the curved line, right click and choose "ungroup" then select the curved line and delete it. The text will hold its shape but you will need to "group" it before you move on. FYI....I use the Ellipse for curving text quite often which makes it easy to match the curve of other objects. Hope this helps! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
