Text on cylinder surface.

[Le Minh Thanh]

Dear all

I'm trying to create a text on a cylinder on a poster as an attached photo. I used text along a ellipse path, but the characters were rotated according to the path (attached 2nd photo).

Is there any way to keep character's orientation on a path?

Thanks.

If you have Affinity Photo you can use the Warp Tool.

Thanks firstdefence for quick reply.

A few images and a file with the history saved, just use the History Panel to scroll back and forth in the files history.

To be honest until we get envelopes for shapes its a bit clumsy to do but is inelegantly doable.
