Transform Tab
The Transform tab is used to move, rotate, shear and scale text based on a character,
word, or line.
Transform
The Transform menu is used to determine the portion of the text affected by the transformations
applied in this tab. Transformations can be applied to line, word, and character levels
simultaneously. This menu is only used to keep the visible controls to a reasonable number.
 Characters: Each character of text is transformed along its own center axis.
 Words: Each word is transformed separately on the word’s center axis.
 Lines: Each line of the text is transformed separately on that line’s center axis.
Spacing
The Spacing slider is used to adjust the space between each line, word, or character. Values
less than 1 will usually cause the characters to begin overlapping.
Pivot X, Y, and Z
This provides control over the exact position of the axis. By default, the axis is positioned at the
calculated center of the line, word, or character. The Axis control works as an offset, such that a
value of 0.1, 0.1 in this control would cause the axis to be shifted downward and to the right for
each of the text elements. Positive values in the Z-axis slider will move the axis of rotation
further along the axis (away from the viewer). Negative values will bring the axis of
rotation closer.
