josef.bichl Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I drew a curve with the drawing pen and then I could fill the curve with color. Then I added a text on the path. Now when I want to change the fill color only the color of the text is changed and the curve is filled transparent. How can I set the fill color of the curve?

walt.farrell Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. In Photo and Designer, when you apply text to a path or shape, you lose the stroke and fill that are assigned. The only way you can have text on a path/shape, and have a stroke or fill is to either: Use Publisher, where you can set those options in the Text Frame panel; or Duplicate the path/shape before converting it to add text, then convert one of the two paths/shapes to add the text. The other one will still show the stroke/fill. josef.bichl 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
