Xara :: Fitting Text To Curve

Jan 19, 2011

When I fit a line of text to a curve, it never quite 'fits.' The text is always skewed across the curve, instead of being 'on' the curve. Is there a way to fit the text exactly on the curve/line?

Xara :: Text To Follow A Radius Using Fit To Curve

Nov 3, 2011

i've been using xara pgd for a few months now and absolutely love it. massive jump up from my old program which was very limiting (graphic design is a hobby / business necessity, not my full time gig).

so my first question to you good peeps: i've been trying to "bend" text to follow a radius using 'fit to curve' ... this has been problematic as the text wants to align itself at the end of the curve rather than the middle.

is there another way to bend text to a specified radius?

Xara :: Rotate Along Curve Is Not Active

Aug 13, 2011

I have a blend from a small rectangle with 5 steps, so in total 7 small ones.

Beside I have drawn a circle, and so selecting the blend, with shift click also the circle, I would like with Blend Tool apply the Rotate along curve function.

But somehow that is not active, only the Fit Blend to curve, but would need rather the rotate.

what it depends whether the Rotate along curve button is active in Blend tool?

Xara :: Making Curve With Smooth Join

Jul 21, 2013

The outline of this small fish drawing on paper, it seems with one continuous curve, so in XDPX9 that should be logically with Smooth joins and Making curves

Smooth_join.xar

According to your experience is there maybe some tactic where to put the control handle points? At the curves or rather where the line is straight? After around some minutes probably in any way can be drew around, I am searching the logic rather which decrease that time.

Xara :: Trim Parts Of Curve That Go Beyond The Shape?

Mar 25, 2011

see attached picture, is it possible to trim the parts of the curve that go beyond the shape? In a CAD programme you can just trim these away and join whats left to form your shape.

By the way i am trying out the trial of Autodesk sketch book designer, (not to be confused with sketchbook pro). it has vector graphics in it and has some neat ideas xara could benefit from. Check out the video, i like the direct transformable fills. also the way lines are handled.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: How To Curve Text Within Paragraph Text Block That Is Predefined Shape

Apr 28, 2011

how to curve text within a shape, as paragraph text, not artistic text? (See my attached image.) 

I have drawn the shape, inserted the text as paragraph text, but the text always wants to sit straight.  I am so frustrated as I can find a workaround in either Corel or Adobe CS products.  I have tried using artistic text in Corel, but have to do it line by line - and this brings other problems, such as I cant justify each line with each other, and sometimes a character jumps up relative to the other characters and the entire paragraph does not taper in...so this is not a solution, apart from the fact it will take me FOREVER to insert line by line....I would like to treat the text as a multiple line paragraph, and follow the shape.

AutoCAD LT :: Constructing Floorplans - Area Calculations In M2

May 6, 2004

I am relatively new to AutoCAD LT and I am constructing floorplans and measuring the area in m2. My problem is that my areas are not adding up correctly. We are investigating possible future redesigning of units, and although the outer boundary of the building is the same, when I add up the individual units this total area does not add up correctly. While trying to figure out what was going on I traced one unit exactly on another layer and compared areas between the two identical polygons....and they have different areas!?!?!?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Constructing A Grid (centers) With Letters And Numbers

Mar 4, 2013

Constructing a grid (centers) with letters and numbers,I follow to set a grid for a plan (All what I need here is a lisp file that provides serial numbers and letters for the grid):

-Grid (centers) are provided to the existing columns
-Circles are plot at the end of these centers to accommodate labels
-Numbers & letters labels are provided
 -Numbers and letters are edited to put them in serial order. Here is the issue, as serial number and letter is done manually, then this is a source for errors!
 
The attached lisp file  does do this sort of work but doesn’t allow choosing the direction of numbering lettering! In the same plan, if I need to have the numbers to start from right (instead of starting from left) then this is impossible using that lisp. This is the only part of the code that needs to be enhanced. Also, the “auto number” command does the same thing but work with numbers bit not for letters.

AutoCad 2D :: Text On Non-arc Curve

Sep 14, 2013

I'm drawing a steam locomotive builder's plate which is elliptical in shape (240x150mm) and I'm having trouble trying to get text to follow the profile of the ellipse. I've tried using Express>Arc-aligned text, but when I click on the curve the command line keeps telling me to select an arc. I've tried separating the upper half of the ellipse from the lower, but I still get the same "Select an arc" instruction. Here's a typical elliptical plate:

Is it possible to create text as in this plate?

CorelDRAW X6 :: Import PDF Text As Curve

Aug 26, 2012

When we import a PDF into Draw, there will be a "Import PDF" pop-up asking whether we want to Import Text As - Text or Curve

Very often when I choose "Curves", it still prompts me for font substitution, while I expect whatever embedded fonts in the PDF will be converted to curve during import.

I wonder how this option is suppose to work.

Illustrator :: Text Following Ellipse Curve?

Jan 22, 2014

So I have a friend who creates business cards and logo's with elipses and she's running into a problem. She has currently got the trial version of Illustrator CC and while she can create the elipses just fine, she can't seem to get the text to follow the curve.
 
She does have the right tool correct? Illustrator can do what she wants it to do correct? If so, is it an issue of usage ignorance or could it be that the trial simply doesn't have this feature?I recommended the Illustrator as the right tool but I want to make sure it will do what she's wanting to do.

Xara :: Convert Text Line To Text Area

Jul 15, 2011

(Using XDP7)

I endlessly find that I have text line objects which I later wish had been proper text areas (because I want to control the size of their bounding box, for example).

Is there any sensible way to convert a text line object into a text area object - it's a bore to do it by creating a new text object and then cutting and pasting the text, and it is seemingly a trivial thing for the software to do automatically.

Alternatively, is there an option (perhaps a hidden one) to have all text objects created as areas rather than lines?
