Chris M.. Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Hello, I work in screenprinting and have a client who is asking for an end of the year order of t-shirts for a schools graduation. They want to fit the names of students inside the shape of the number "20". I'm not even sure if it's possible, but can I line up the text paths with the shape of the curves automatically? Or does it require each line to be individually shifted into position? (I've attached a sample image below.) I've searched the forums a bit for this issue, and haven't found many results. Any help is much appreciated, thanks! Quote
v_kyr Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 I assume you mean how to create the 20 here with filled text then (as far as I've understood it). Create with grafictext (Arial Black etc.) a big 20 and duplicate that textlayer so you have 2x this one. Now select one of those 20 layers (say the top one) and "Layer > Convert to curves", that should create a group with a layer 2 and 0 inside the group as curves Next select the first of those in the group, the 2 and "Layer > Convert to text layer", afterwards do the same with the other 0 layer. Now fill both of those frametext layers with the text you want (I used "lorem ipsus" filltext see below) Set the normal bottom grafictext layer (20) to no fill and some stroke/outline color, the previously created filled number layers above should shine through. Adjust it's size slightly bigger so there is a little gap place between the bottom stroke color outline and the top textframes (I didn't made that for below screenshot) see ... twenty_filltext.afdesign jer 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
