djansen 0 Posted March 12, 2012 I am having a difficult time re-creating the outline text on a customer's vehicle. Can anybody explain to me how to create the outlined text in Signblazer elements? I have searched the sight bu have not been able to determine the best way. Please see the attached jpg file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted March 12, 2012 do your text normally then select the text, click on "manipulate", then "expand/outline/inline". Select "outline" and "keep original". Then adjust the offset and and thickness for the desired effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then adjust the offset and and thickness for the desired effect. Then dupicate the outline and move it to make the drop shadow effect. Weld all of the black then combine the white outline and the black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
