Again, your tutorial is more complete for the subject matter than most others I find. I just searched on my home page for "text on a path" and the tutorial I watched had some info but did not have the info I was looking for. I came to your channel with the same search and this video not only had what I was looking for, but extra tips as well in about the same length video as the other. In the future I will come here first with my Affinity queries and I know I'll get the most complete info. Thank you!
Thank you, Trent! This was great. I'm putting a request in for a video on the Affinity Style Picker. I'm having the hardest time getting it to work. I've watched a few different videos on it. So far I can't get it to work.
Trent, where can I find Scale object by a percentage? I can only find Transform which is flip, up down left right rotate and shear etc and I can do the usual (but for me a bit clumsy) click and drag the object to resize it (I always forget what constraint key to use to get object to resize up or down correctly) but nowhere can I find a simple scale by percentage palette tool? Is it hidden somewhere or just not been put in yet?
Hi RunForrestRun! Scaling is possible but it is hard to find at first. You can enable the Transform menu, which is available in Window -> Transform. From there, you can append to the W and H field to say how much you want to scale it such as "* 150%" (no quotes). You can link the W and H fields to scale evenly in all directions. So for example, if the W field says "10 in", you can make it say "10 in * 150%" and then hit enter and it will scale by 150%. You can also say "10 in * 2" to make it twice as big. Hope this helps!
Hi @mitchhoneysett7674! Currently, if you want to make text go vertical like this: T E S T ...it is a bit of a hack. You can use the frame text tool, type your word, and then drag the frame-text tool so it is very narrow. That will wrap your text letter by letter. Then you can use the paragraph options to center it. Hope this helps! I'll try to make a short video on this soon.
