The individual letters will be combined as a single path. The letters can be moved around as you want.įinally, select all of the letters, click on Path and select Union. Click the text and right click then select Ungroup. You can still adjust the individual letters. Once the text has been converted to a path the Text Editing options are no longer available. Next click the Path menu top left and select Object to Path. If you deleted the ellipse without converting, the edits to the text would be lost. In order to keep the arched shape the text needs to be converted to a path. Adjust until you are happy with the arch of the text. Using the size adjustment arrows at the corners, resize the ellipse. The smaller or bigger you make the shape, the more the text will change. Click the top right rotation handle and drag around to the left side.Īdjusting the ellipse changes how the text sits on the arch. With both ellipse and text selected, click once to activate the rotation handles. Step 3 - Adjust the rotation of text on path It will also appear upside down but we will fix that shortly. The text will follow the shape of the ellipse. On the top of the screen click Text then click Put on Path. Draw a selection box around both the text and the ellipse. We are now ready to arch the text over the ellipse. Resize the text so it is in proportion to the ellipse. While in text edit mode, select a font from the Font Family top left of the screen. Click anywhere on the canvas and type out the text. Next, click on Create and edit text objects (symbol A) on the left side panel. Adjust the size of the ellipse using the arrows if needed. The arc will depend on how wide the ellipse is. Hold down the Ctrl key then Click + drag out an ellipse. On the left side panel click on Create Circles, Ellipses and Arcs. When drawing the path with the Bezier tool, select the option Shape: From Clipboard.A curved shape works best for this project. If you have text outlines, one possibility is that you could ungroup them, and unify them as a single shape using Path > Union, copy it, and apply it as a pattern along a path. Just search for "Inkscape text on a path" If you need more help, there are lots of tutorials available which show how to use the text on a path feature. If you then want to modify the letter forms, you could convert them to outlines using Path > Object to path. Simply select both the Text and the path, and click Text > Put on Path. However, if you have the font available, why not type it in Inkscape using the Text tool. Since you have done that, then you'd need to move them and rotate each individually into position, perhaps even skewing them a little, which could be quite troublesome. Text on a path in Inkscape is only available for text items made using the Text tool, not drawn or traced outlines.
