Note Orientation of the text around the oval depends
on where you mark the reference points.
Try this! You can adjust orientation settings at any
stage. See Adjusting orientations for details.
Creating custom orientations
Use Free Line orientation to shape lettering
around elements in your design. Digitize Free Line
baselines by marking reference points to form the
required line. The number of reference points and
length of baseline are practically unlimited.
Try this! If the baseline has tight curves, or sharp
corners, the letters may overlap. For best results,
only mark curve points, and digitize lines which
have shallow, gentle curves.
To create a custom orientation
1 In the Object Details > Lettering dialog, click the Any
Shape orientation icon.
2 Enter your text in the text entry box.
3 Click
OK.
4 Mark the baseline reference points.
Mark curve points with the right mouse button.
Mark corner points with the left mouse button.
5 Press
Enter to complete.
Try this! You can adjust orientation settings at any
stage. See Adjusting orientations for details.
Adjusting letter spacing
Letter and line spacings can be determined before
or after creating lettering objects and placing them
in your design. You can edit spacing using the
Reshape tool.
Adjusting overall letter spacing
on-screen
The spacing between letters is calculated
automatically as a percentage of the letter height.
In most cases the default spacing is adequate.
Sometimes, however, you may want to change the
overall letter spacing.
To adjust overall letter spacing on-screen
1 Select the lettering object.
2 Click the Reshape icon.
