mr300s 1,272 Posted April 17, 2010 you can do it in Sign Blazer just type out your text then manipulate then click on distortion then play around with the setting until you get it. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinaski 11 Posted April 17, 2010 inkscape is very poor at arches and manipulating txt the only way i know is ... type your txt and then make a circle click on one then hold down shift key and click on the other then go up to text>put on path i have never really came close to "master" it i dont like it too much mabey there is a better way and i dont know a way to give raise the middle higher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truckntran 0 Posted April 17, 2010 It is worth installing the free Signblaster just to get this arch text feature.......I fought DR Stika for years trying to distort text and never got to do it until I installed SBE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
