Text to path on a circle

Recommended Posts

So I'm really trying hard to like this program even though it crashes everytime I start clicking around quickly, but despite that I'm having some issues with typing on a circle.  The first time it worked, but now on the new shape it does this and I can't get it to move where I want to start on the cirlce (all though I have never been able to select where which is incredibly annoying).  I'm using SCALP3 Pro.  Thank you!

Thats one thing i dont like about scalps . I have scalps4 pro and i use Ai for doing that effect instead and a few other things i dont like in scalp.Make sure you have the latest update as well. you might want to upgrade to scalps 4 or add Ai to your software and then only use scalps for tweaking and cutting.

Like this ? Just select Text to Path from the tool bar ( tip you keep the mouse button pressed down to select items otherwise the menu keeps closing )

So I made the file that I needed in Illustrator and now when I go to import it, its just a white layer, there is nothing there.

Where you see my typing in the picture is where it automatically starts the words, I can't start at any other point and I need to start there. Once I use the font I need, it runs out of room and stacks the letters on top of each other and I have no options to fix it from here.

you have to make sure you select all and make sure everything is saved as an svg outline
