achappy 0 Posted August 11, 2009 I have a logo that I have been cutting for a car club. they wanted them straight for the back of the cars, well now they want some curved for the bottom of the windshield. here is a screenshot of what I am trying to do. the word aftermath is an outline that I have been cutting. below it is a curve that matches the windshield that they want them on. I know that the windshield not supposed to be a canvas for vinyl but this is what they want, and I am claiming no responsibility. any help on this would be really appreciated.

JoeBlow 5 Posted August 11, 2009 Achappy, You've got your text and your curved line, just "select both", then click on the "TEXT" menu, and then click on "FIT TEXT TO PATH" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

achappy 0 Posted August 11, 2009 I know how to fit text to a path, the problem is that this is not text anymore. I converted it to outlines and have manipulated it a bit. The original font was very rough, the curves did not match and there were lots of curves that had points in them. is there a way to curve an object to a path? I guess if I have to I can start over for this one, I was just hoping not to have to redo that work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

achappy 0 Posted August 11, 2009 thanks, I had look at those and tried them also. I ended up using illustrator and creating a brush from the text and then applied the brush to the path. That created a really nice looking curved image. I used my computer at my day job to try this and it worked great. i will post pics later when I have time. thanks for the input tho.

achappy 0 Posted August 11, 2009 I want it but it is not in the budget. I got Corel because I am comfortable enough with it and I could afford it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
