You can do inside, ouside, centerline or move it where you want it.</p> <hr /><a name="a6739_13"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6739.13">#13</a>]<br /> 25 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: sprinter</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6739.12">#12</a>] 25 Apr 2007</p> <p>Mike's advice got me to exactly where I needed to be. I just wish Gravostyle98 could do the same thing.</p> <p>All text controls and node manipulation work exactly as expected. The only thing I could not find was the setting for the distance from the enclosure to the text. But who cares, it is a minor thing to manipulate the size of the container before hand.</p> <p>Text to path is a totally different function. I wanted to draw the oddball shape of an award and have the text automatically stay away from the inside edges, which this does.</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6739.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6739.1">1-11</a>  12-13</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
