David Scott Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Good evening, everyone. I am a brand new Affinity user as of yesterday and I have a question. Anytime I attempt to use the artistic text tool (text on a path) within a shape (in my case a circle) the shape layer disappears completely from my list of layers. The text wraps around the shape as intended, but the shape itself is no longer visible and has been deleted from my layers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ~ Dave Edited June 10, 2019 by David Scott Updated title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 That's just how it works: the shape is converted to text on a path. If you want to preserve the original shape, duplicate it before converting the original to path text.
