[@manojjrkhiara240]

Thank u so much,

[@aryholic]

I'm so grateful to you. ! I was really curious about linear spiral. It was very informative. Thank you so much!

[@jennypage2771]

Great instructions - I was able to get it to work within just a couple tries. Thank you!

[@sonu-jangir]

Thanks again... 🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤

[@ForeverDansky]

You're welcome 😊

To those with issues where the first line snaps perfectly but every other line is skewed: Go back in the polar grid tools' settings by left clicking on the canvas, and make certain the skew on both dividers is **0%**, if it's even 1% it'll all be messed up. This fix worked for me, I think illustrator might set it to 1% by default or something

[@Lessen0]

awesome awesome guide that very clearly walked through what to do and why/how, tho as lichterloh said in another comment 3 months ago, the deletion process can be done more quickly by Joining all the paths once you're at the step where you have two spirals nested in each other, then deleting one of the spirals. (tho having actually done this now, after writing that comment, i realize there's an added step of separating the two middle points from each other after the Join, and I don't actually know the fastest way to do that since I'm only somewhat familiar with Illustrator. But I guess if your intent is to 100% get rid of the extra spiral, then you just need to delete the first point in the spiral to separate it from the other spiral, and then select the rest of the offending spiral with the V selector and delete it.)

[@jamalmajdi8521]

You're welcome Pedro!

[@kikisum7695]

thanks man you are a really good teacher :)

[@RPBarrett]

AWESOME! Thanks so much

[@seenudesigning9124]

Hi there! Thanks for this tutorial if there's any way that I can type the text from the outside to inside if I'm typing on the path?

[@ForeverDansky]

Hey Seenu, you can try connecting all the ‘end anchor points’ with the Direct Selection Tool, and go to Object -> Path -> Join. Then click and hold over the Type Tool and select the Type on a Path Tool and click on the spiral. There’s also a tutorial for typing on a path on my Illustrator playlist 👍

[@seenudesigning9124]

@@ForeverDansky hey! Yeah I found the way to solve it. actually when I tried to type the text it went outside from inside but I wanted it to start from outside then spiral inward. Fortunately I fixed it by clicking "flip" in the "type on path" box

[@Gethrry]

i cant figure this out... the other video is for elipses not spirals, anybody with the same issue?

[@riolet.531]

i'm so glad that i subscribed to your chanel !

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks! Me too :)

[@jackielindsay6673]

Absolutely brilliant thank you

[@arinalowery7167]

In one of your videos you gave a download link to an aisc scripts, and there is a script called "Archimedean Spiral". It is the same that you're doing in this tutorial but it takes only 2 secs to do it, you just select it in the "file" and there is your spiral :)

[@ForeverDansky]

Hey Arina! It's a similar end result, this video is more focused on how to do it without relying on scripts and in a way that gives you more control. The script version is a great time-saver though 👍

[@arinalowery7167]

Dansky yeah, I understand, just in case for other people, who needs it to be done faster:) LOVE your videos! That would be cool to have a little bit more on InDesign though :) Keep it up!

[@macjonald]

Thank you!

[@suzuhaa]

You are a real life saver

[@inactive832]

thank you so much dansky

[@RajeevKumar-pd9mx]

You r a best teacher

[@qfksspecial7866]

Thanks! How can you make the spiral strokes to be precisely the same thickness as the white space in between?

[@samj1012]

Very important question. Can anyone tell us please.

[@joshlake3169]

Incredibly useful, thanks so much for this

[@jjfecik]

[@romanfuhrer8821]

[@notag_channel]

Great Tutorial, thank you! So much work for an easy spiral when they could implement the Spiral Tool with some more parameters. I miss FreeHand LOL

[@harolddimla4509]

Hi there, how to add song lyrics on the Spiral? Thanks

[@OnkelFolie]

3:58 it doesnt snap perfectly for me, is there maybe a setting which i missed?

[@ForeverDansky]

Try going up to 'View' at the top of the screen, and down the bottom, make sure that only 'Snap to Point' is turned on.

[@junello8354]

[@christinelowery2415]

Can you add text that follows spiral and goes from bigger size to smaller size, and is still easily editable?

[@goncaloqueiroz8734]

OMG I was snapping because of the "snap to the pixel" thing... thank you very much, I know it's a basic stuff but I have basic knowledge fo AI for now. Greetings

[@thetraindomain3828]
