Kelly54487 2 Posted November 4, 2009 HI EVERYONE A QUICK QUESTION REGARDING ARCHING YOUR TEXT WITH A GRAPHIC. I KNOW HOW TO DO IT BUT EVERYTIME I PUT MY TEXT ON A ARCH ON THE BOTTOM OF A DESIGN IT SEEMS CROWDED. WHEN I DO IT ON TOP OF A DESIGN COUNTER CLOCKWISE THE LETTERS SEEM EVENLY SPACED BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PLACING MY TEXT ON THE BOTTOM OF A DESIGN THEY SEEM ALL CRUNCHED TOGETHER.HOW DO I FIX THIS ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED ON THIS ISSUE. THANKS ONCE AGAIN EVERYONE KELL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pogo 0 Posted November 4, 2009 If using Signblazer select the text then the node edit tool. Click and drag the lower right handle to space the text out more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly54487 2 Posted November 4, 2009 THANKS POGO! IT WORKED BUT WHAT A PAIN IN THE @#$. IS THIS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT IN SIGNBLAZER. DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S THE SAME WAY IN INKESCAPE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pogo 0 Posted November 4, 2009 I don't know anything about Inkscape. It works pretty much the same in CorelDRAW. I'm not sure how it could be much easier. Just takes a couple of seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted November 4, 2009 Are you using the Below option? It will help space your text out. For the node edit drag the right hand box and it will equally space your text. http://screencast.com/t/c7EddKSy3rFg Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
