Text on path

[edmond1815]

Hi,

Affinity Designer could type on a path?

For example type on round shape like a rubber stamp?

And mirror image transform?

 

Thank you

I think the text on path it's on their road map. :)

Mmmm... ¡Yes! Read this thread:

The roadmap is upon us! As a historical and loyal user of FreeHand is famous the trick:

 

Write a text. Return. Write a text. Create a Circle. Insert the text on the circle. Text at top and text at the bottom tied at the circle following its path in 2 seconds.

The famous text on a circle question was in the famous too document that FreeFreeHand forum made to put clear the advantages of FreeHand versus Illustrator:

Hi edmond1815,

Welcome to Affinity Forums.

Text on a path is coming as Raskolnikov and Krollian already said.

If by mirror image transform you mean flip an image (or vector object), go to Layer -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal / Vertical, or look at the first two icons in the fifth group on the top toolbar.

Do I have to rasterize text in order to be able to flip horizontal (so far example an R would be backwards)? The verticle flip on letters seems to work intermittently and the horizontal one not at all. I'm using native osx arial font on Affinity Designer 1.3.2. Thanks much.
