DJP Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I am creating a book cover and added a text frame for the spine (thin and tall). I can type text in the frame, but need to rotate the line 45 degrees to fit the spine. I've read all the text sections in the online help and looked at all the options in character and paragraph styles but can't figure out how to do this. Help will be appreciated! Quote
Joachim_L Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Use the Transform panel to rotate the text frame. Maybe 90° degrees are better 😉 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
DJP Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 Thank you, this works although it seems more intuitive to create the frame first in its proper orientation and size. (And yes, I meant 90 degrees.) Quote

GarryP Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 You can also rotate Artistic Text, or a Text Frame, or any other layer, by dragging the handles of the layer – see attached video. Use SHIFT while rotating to make the rotation step by 15 degree increments. 2020-02-20 08-53-42.mp4 Quote
