CreativeTim Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I'm having an issue with putting text on a curved path in the motto part of my coat of arms that I'm trying to make. I first made the right side, mirrored it, and then connected both sides to ensure that it is perfectly symmetrical. Now I want to add text to the red curves, but since the red curve on the left is a mirrored version of the one on the right the text will be mirrored as well, as you can see in the image below. So my question is, how do I mirror text along a curved path? Quote
Staff MEB Posted May 12, 2020 Staff Posted May 12, 2020 Hi CreativeTim, I'm afraid there's no direct way to solve it however you can do this: draw a rectangle encompassing the whole flipped curve (without touching/crossing it), select both the curve and the rectangle and go to menu Layer > Geometry > Merge Curves. Then change to the Node Tool, select the four nodes of the rectangle and delete them (this will delete the rectangle leaving the curve alone). You can then use the text along a path as you are used to in that path. CreativeTim 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
