Curving Text in Silhouette Studio v4

[@tonyferrantello9934]

Your video on curving text is a lot better than some of the others that speed through it. Most of us are beginners and we need it slowed down a little to learn the different steps, thank you.

[@bakedonmaple1196]

[@janetrachelgrundy9734]

Hi Dina, I’m trying to curve words that I have grouped together and it doesn’t work. I’ve done it like you’ve shown where I type a whole line and it lets me do it. Is there something that needs to be done for words that have been grouped together? Thanks

[@bakedonmaple1196]

Hi Mary :) Curving text like this only works on text that has not been changed by grouping or converting to a path. If you have changed them and need the text to be a certain shape you can try to use the object to path. That tool is found under the replicate panel - right toolbar. I have a video showing basics of this function. You can use object to path on an open or closed path very much like the text curve function as shown in this video.

[@kaylahaskins94]

Thank you!

[@gord_bonez4208]

Awesome video thank you I was stuck hahaha

[@dianavestal850]

this is a big help

[@shutthedoor2052]

Helpful indeed

[@pamgarrett3300]

hello, I have a picture that I want to curve. is there a special way to do that?

[@bakedonmaple1196]

This function only works with text but check out the WARP functionality. It's available when you upgrade to at least designer edition.

[@robschannel8536]

I’m grateful for the video. You covered the issue I needed which is how do you get the text to pull out of the circle downward to outside but still read left to right. I updated the software today but am unable to use the slider to pull the text outside. Any ideas? It won’t let me select the slider to move- the slider is there but doesn’t let me select it to move it in either direction. ??

[@bakedonmaple1196]

I'm glad this video helped with the placement. It can be tricky sometimes getting it to cooperate. lol Which version did you update to? I'm running a beta 4.3.334 currently and haven't run into this and I haven't seen anyone report any buggy behavior but can definitely ask the others if that handle bug is back. For now, and it's a super annoying work around, you have to play hide-n-seek with the slider handle. Move the mouse around in that area and watch for the cursor to change.

[@robschannel8536]

Dina Schliecker It finally worked!! I guess I just needed to step away from it for a bit. I’m new to it all- thanks again!!

[@ssergeant9682]

do you have to place the test FIRST before you add photos or other objects?

[@bakedonmaple1196]

Curving the text can be done at any point. Just be aware that once you convert the text to an object you are unable to edit the text.

[@tcooks2010]

Wwwoooowwww thank you!!!

[@gisellealleyne8477]

Thank you thank you thank you

[@TheSandyUke]

Thank you!!!!

[@jamieferguson7560]

Diane when i double click the font the point editing shows up?

[@bakedonmaple1196]

Then a change to the text took place to alter it from text to an object. Try retyping the text and then double-click to get the grab handle.

[@TheToriio]

amazing thank you so much!! i couldn't figure out how to get the text onto the bottom of the circle !

[@bakedonmaple1196]

I'm so happy you found the video helpful! :)

[@CasualMagic]

WooT! Super EZ! Thanks! :)

[@cindytai377]

Mines not doing it

[@mrfields9177]

thanks for this video....#Hustleonsteroids

[@widowsjars1175]

Why am I the only one this is not working forr? What could be some reasons?

[@bakedonmaple1196]

Have you changed the text in any way? Grouped it? converted to path? make a compound path? If so, it is no longer considered text per the software, it is an object. Type your text then double-click it to move onto your shape with the handle.
