cleay Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hi, I'm using Designer to add to some old work done in illustrator, but I've run into a limitation – I need to match some type on path, skewed vertically. Is there any way to achieve this in Designer? To expand the description a bit – in illustrator there is an option to skew the type on a path vertically (similar to option 'B' in the example attached). I'm looking for an equivalent option or a method to replicate this in Designer. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank for the reply, but the linked thread is not really applicable in my case – unless I want to skew each letter individually. Incidentally, this seems to be the way my old illustrator files are imported i.e. each letter separated and skewed by a different amount to preserve the effect. Not a practical way to replicate the effect in Designer from scratch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 If you have Affinity Photo you could use the Warp tools to do this. But in Designer... Convert your text to curves then use the Shear control in the Transform panel to adjust each individual "letter" how you want them to look. It only takes a minute or two Note: Changing the rotation point in the Transform panel gives slightly different results when shearing so find the one that works best for you Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleay Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Thanks for the reply Carl. This'll work in principal, but it's not ideal – non-editable and only really practical for a few words. Hopefully it's a feature that'll be added soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
