Creating vertical orientations
Vertical orientation does not have a fixed
or pre-determined length – the baseline
extends as long as you keep adding
letters. Line spacing is calculated
horizontally while letter spacing is
calculated vertically. Letters, by default,
are centered along vertical lines. New
lines are placed by default from right to
left to suit Asian languages. Vertical
orientation is effective for embroidering
on sleeves, as a decorative effect, and for
Asian text.
Try this! Vertical lettering best suited to
uppercase for Western languages because
descenders in lowercase letters are not
accommodated in the letter spacing. See Adjusting
individual letter spacing on-screen for details.
To create a vertical orientation
1 In the Object Details > Lettering dialog, click the
Vertical orientation icon.
2 Enter your text in the text entry box.
3 Click
OK.
4 Mark the start point of the baseline on-screen.
Try this! You can adjust orientation settings at any
stage. See Adjusting orientations for details.
Creating circular orientations
Use the Circle CCW or Circle CW orientation to
place letters around a full circle.
For a circle you need to mark two reference points,
while for an oval you need to mark three. The
position of the second reference point determines
the justification point of the text. The text is
centered around this point.
To create a circular orientation
1 In the Object Details > Lettering dialog, click the
Circle CCW or Circle CW orientation icon.
2 Enter your text in the text entry box.
3 Click
OK.
4 Mark the center of the circle on-screen.
5 Mark a point on the circumference to define the radius.
6 Press
Enter for a perfect circle, or click again to form an
oval.
As soon as the last point is marked, the letters of your
text are positioned around the circle.
