Path Text Tool
The Path Text
tool creates lettering that follows a set linear
path. For example, you can use the Path tool to create text that
bends to follow the curved edge of a garment.
Pacesetter BES Lettering comes with a set of shapes already
installed for you to choose from, or you can create and save
your own shape, using the Edit Shape command.
See “Creating a Custom Text on a Path Shape”.
To create text along a path:
1
On the Ribbon, select the Home tab.
2
From the Edit tool bar, click the Path Text
tool.
3
Click once in the design window.
You see the Select a text path dialog.
If another text object was already selected, your first click only
de-selected that object. You will have to click again.
