Luzon Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi. Brand new to Designer and have a question about how to type on a path in a specific way. I'm hoping to move away from Adobe CC and this one feature will make or break my decision... I make and sell address stamps. They're all personalized to the buyer. In Adobe Illustrator, the solution is very easy to do but I can't figure out how to convert the bottom line (address section) so that it reads like the first image. The 2nd image shows what I have so far for the bottom. What I can't figure out is how to reverse and invert the bottom line. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Staff MEB Posted February 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Luzon, Welcome to Affinity Forums Select the circle, then go to menu Layer ▹ Convert to text path. This will place the text controls exactly on the each side of the circle (the orange triangles). Type the text (for the upper part of the circle) and center it using the text alignment buttons on the context toolbar. Then press Enter to start typing the text for the bottom part of the circle. Use the Baseline controls on the context toolbar to adjust the bottom text position (offset) in relation to the path.
