The green handle dictates where the text begins, and it can be moved manually: Moving the green handle allows you to determine where the starting point of your text is, relative to the path. Now let’s address changing the position of the text as it relates to the path itself.Īfter you’ve wrapped your text around the path, you’ll notice two handles that appear - a green handle and a red handle.
Change The Position Of The Text On The Path You can easily toggle back and forth between each by clicking the button repeatedly. The Reverse Text Path button can also change the position of the text from the inside of the circle to the outside of the circle. This will reposition your text from the outside of the path to the inside of the path. The Reverse Text Path button allows you to dictate whether the text with flow on the inside or outside of your path. If you’d like to place your text along the inside of the path, you can simply click the Reverse Text Path button in the toolbar at the top of the screen after it’s been added. This depends entirely on what part of the path you initially clicked on. When you first curve text with Affinity Designer, the text will be placed either along the inside or the outside of the path. You can also change the color using the Color menu to the right of your screen.
With your text selected, go ahead and apply your chosen font, color, and size. Simply triple-click the text to select it, then choose your font and size using the settings in the toolbar just above the artboard. Adjusting The Font, Size and ColorĪt this point you can add your own stylings. Simply click on the path with the Artistic Text tool and begin typing. You will notice a blinking cursor that appears on the path indication that you can begin typing. The cursor change is confirmation that you are clear to place your text along the path.
