Operation Manual

Working with Text 109
• To add white space around your text, you can indent text from the
frame or shape edge via right-click Text>Text Flow.... Values can be
set to indent from Left, Right, Top and/or Bottom.
Resizing
• You can resize frame or shape text (change its point size)
automatically when resizing frame and shapes. First make sure the
Scale text with item box is checked in the Text flow dialog (right-click
Text>Text Flow...) then drag a corner of the selected text object.
Fitting text to a path
DrawPlus allows you to make artistic text conform to a curved baseline (such as
a drawn freeform line or curve), custom shape or a preset shape (QuickShape).
To fit text to a path:
1. Select the curve or shape.
2. Select Artistic Text on the Drawing toolbar's Text flyout.
3. Hover over the curve or shape's outline until you see a cursor,
then click at the point on the line where your text is to begin.
4. Begin typing your text. The text will be placed along the curve or shape.
