GentleGiantEd Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I have a circular diagram I am creating and want to type inside on a line that follows the same contour. Is there a video on how to do this anywhere? Thanks Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi Ed, Just draw another circle (to use as the line the text will follow along) then select the Artistic Text Tool and place the mouse cursor over the circle you just created until the cursor changes to a "T" with a small wave below, then click and start writing. Here's two video tutorials that may help: - Affinity Designer - Text on a Path: Overview - Affinity Designer - Text on a Path: Worked Example Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleGiantEd Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 MEB, is there a trick to getting the small wave? I have everything I can think of after drawing a circle and it never comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2016 Do you have the circle you draw selected? The circle must be selected. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted October 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks for the video. Are you using the Windows Beta? This is working fine on the Mac... the cursor should have changed to a "T" with a wave below. Are you using the Windows Beta?

Staff MEB Posted October 3, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2016 Seems you are using Affinity Photo. This is only available in Affinity Designer. There's no way to write text along a path in Affinity Photo. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
