Cre8tiveCutter 7 Posted January 30, 2009 Aries did you ever figure it out? When I dont know how to do something, I just play with the options and all the tools available to see what they do, its really exciting when your sitting there playing around with sign blazer and i figure something out, its like the light bulb all of a sudden turning on and shining bright! For me I have found thats its easier and less stressful if I sit down and just play around with it and not have to try and figure out something because its a JOB. You know what I mean? I have done alot of that the past week. Let us know if you figured it out so if not we can help ya! Renee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firemalt 10 Posted January 30, 2009 are you importing the text into sbe, or are you actually typing it out yourself? again, make sure the text you type out is highlighted, and then try going up to "tect", scroll down to "text follow arc", and click once.

It won't higlight text in worspace.also have 2 green sib icons on my desktop,is this right? I myself now have two SB icons on my desktop, I think that happened after downloading Brads file...lol. They work so I'm not going to complain! Aries, Do you have large buttons across the top of your SB Elements? one of those large buttons should say ARCH TEXT. At least mine does. there are alot of buttons, not all of them fit, you will see at the top right corner an arrow if you push that arrow it will scroll to more options. Make sure what you are typing is within the cut box, if its not put it there. click on your text, should give you a box around your text from there, go to the top BIG buttons and look for arch text if you click on it, a big round circle will appear and you can widen it or really arch it and probly arch it in whichever direction you want, top or bottom. Try that! Renee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
