How to Add Text on the Canvas

Vector Ink offers a range of text options that allow you to add and customize text on your canvas as needed. Start by selecting the Text tool from the toolbar. This action will prompt a popup window where you can enter your text into the input field.

Applying and Customizing Text

After entering your text, select a font and click "Save" to apply the text to the canvas. Next, open the Text properties panel to further customize your text.

Adjusting Text Properties

Font Property: Use the dropdown menu to change the font of your text.

Size: Controls the size of your font.

Content: Here, you can edit the text content.

Alignment: Below the Content box, you will find options to justify the text left, center, or right.

Enhancing Text Appearance

Arc: Adjust this setting to apply an arc effect to the text; set it to anything other than zero to activate this feature.

Spacing: Increase this value to add spacing around each letter, enhancing readability and aesthetic appeal.

Converting Text to Path

Text to Path: By selecting this option, you can convert your text object into a path object. Once converted, the text panel will disappear, and your text will become editable like any other path, allowing for more intricate modifications.

The Corner Tool is specifically designed for rounding the corners of paths. Once activated, handles will appear on the sharp corners of any selected path. To adjust the corners, select the handles individually. Dragging these handles downward will increase the rounding of the corners, while dragging upward will decrease it. Release the handles to apply the rounding changes to the corners.

How to use the Path Builder Tool

The Path Builder Tool is a powerful tool for creating custom shapes by combining two or more other shapes. To use it, select the shapes on the canvas you want to combine, then select the Path Builder Tool in the toolbar. Drag between the strokes you want included in your new shape. Strokes highlighted orange indicate an open path, while blue strokes indicate a closed path. Dragging over a closed path will break it and turn it back to orange. To repair broken paths, use the Pencil Tool in the Path Builder Tools toolbar to reapply the stroke. To prevent breaking closed paths, toggle off the Sculpt Tool.
