photogeek Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I've gotten a lot of help here over the past few months and now I have another question. I created a logo, and with the help of this forum was able to set it up so that the line thickness, 3d effects, and gaussian blur effects, all scale with the image when I'm changing it's size. Now I need to know, is there a way to make the text under the logo scale with the object, because right now when I shrink it down, the text is part of the group and the font size doesn't change.

Alfred Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 You need to use Artistic Text for the text under the logo. Did you use Frame Text instead?

photogeek Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I used the artistic because I had to have it follow a curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photogeek Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I found a solution but it makes it so I can't edit the text. I just converted it to curves. So for this instance it works, but I worry for projects in the future if I need to be able to change the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, it should scale if your settings are correct.

photogeek Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Do you know which settings I might have messed up then? I'm not trying to be smart, I just looked for an option to scale with object and didn't see one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 There's a 'Scale with object' checkbox in the Stroke panel, but that only affects the stroke applied to the text. The text characters themselves should scale correctly when you resize the logo, regardless of whether the component parts are grouped or not. It would be easier to help you troubleshoot this if you could attach your *.afdesign file here.

At least on the Mac version, Artistic text on a curve scales with the curve only if it is done by dragging the extra 9th control handle located below & to the right of the bounding box on the canvas. Scaling via the Transform panel or dragging on any of the normal 8 bounding box control handles (annoyingly!) does not scale the text. photogeek 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the "on a curve" bit, it sounds to me as though you're describing Frame Text, not Artistic Text.

Alfred Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Ah, OK. I was under the misapprehension that the ninth control handle was exclusively a Frame Text thing.

I kept ignoring that one because I didn't know what it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
