removing a part of a letter

[crash 0]

How can I cut off a piece of a letter . like if I have a F that has a tail & I don't want the tall on it. How do I cut the tail off?

You can do it with node editing. What software are you using?

ALWAYS WORK ON A COPY OF YOUR TEXT!

 

In most graphic programs (CorelDraw, Illustrator, etc)

you have to first convert the text to curves or outlines.

 

Then you move, add or delete nodes till you get the

shape you want.

 

You cannot convert it back to editable text.

It is now a graphic object.

In SBE you can simply double click on the letter and it will allow you to edit the nodes. This is assuming it has already been converted into curves and isn't part of a group. You can delete nodes, add nodes, move nodes, etc.

 

Make a backup of the design before trying this. Occasionally in SBE, after editing nodes, it will act up and you will have to go to "Arrange > Weld > Total Weld" to be able to select the object again.

 

Arrange > Convert To Curves

Arrange > Ungroup Objects

I've dine that but can figure out how to delete nods. I can move them but not delete them

Select the node or nodes and hit the "delete" button on your keyboard.
