Color of text in shape


Recommended Posts

When I create a shape, like with the Donut tool and next add text to that shape:

  • I no longer can change the color of the shape (at least it's not clear to me how)
  • the text has a background color (white) that I can't remove (at least it's not clear how)
  • The transparent inside of the donut is is filled with the donut's background color (no longer transparent)

Same happens with the other shapes (except what I say in the 3rd bullit, this only happens with the donut shape)

With the text frame selected, you control its stroke and fill from  the Text Frame panel (View > Studio > Text Frame). For me this works even with a donut, once you've converted it to a Text Frame (Layer > Convert to Text Frame).

Hi FMS

I't not super clear how you added text to the shape if you converted it to a text frame either manually or by clicking on the shape with a text tool the you will need a combination of the t~ext Frame panel and the Character Panel to edit these attributes

cheers

Hi Chris,

I downloaded the latest beta version 1.7.0.58 and can no longer reproduce my issues. I guess the first 2 bullits was about not knowing how to, the third issue (filling inside of donut) seems to have been fixed in the new release.
