OdieZ Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Thank to Old Bruce I have mad progress to my file. I have put in all the months, but now I battle to get them each on the same place, is there a way to do it easier as to try to get them on the spot, I need to know how to let all of them beat the spot where Januarie is.

firstdefence Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Do you want the months to be centred to the circle at the circles base, like this... To get this looking like the image above... Enable snapping if not already active Select one of the text layers Press T or select the Artistic Text Tool from the toolbar, (The green and red handles should show) With the text having centre justify set, drag each handle near a node it should snap to that node You will have to do this for each of the months Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

OdieZ Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 No I need each month to begin at the same point as where Januarie is. I then want to do it with days of the week also but on a other spot I can to add days of week and numbers in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Ok, unfortunately you will have to align them manually, by eye for the months.

firstdefence Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Assuming you have just started and only have the Text Circle “Month" layer, if you rotate that layer first to the position you want the text to be on the circle and then duplicate that layer 12 times all of the months typed on each layer will be centre aligned to each other as per the alignment as it is set. So, you can do the same thing with days. Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

v_kyr Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 For such things I would generally take another overall better route.

carl123 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 In the document you supplied... Select all the Month layers in the Layers panel Switch to The Artistic text tool Grab the Red triangle on right side of the circle Move the red triangle slightly to synchronise all layers then reposition the red triangle to where you want the month MAART to show on the circle All other month Layers will now be in the same position Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

OdieZ Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 carl123 I did all you said but do not understand the last part of it. I did choose all month, but the red triangle is just moving around, so I do not see the synchronize 41 minutes ago, carl123 said: Move the red triangle slightly to synchronise all layers then reposition the red triangle to where you want the month MAART to show on the circle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Your supplied document has the other months unchecked so you will not see the synchronisation happening on screen but they will be synchronised. Complete the procedure then switch on other months in the Layers panel and you should see they are now all in the same position Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
