Im trying to get type to sit on a path, so far ive been able to get it to work but when i try and get the type to sit the right way round (ie. not upside down) it sits on the inside of the path, which is on the wrong side of the circle (as the first image below).
I could align the circle by eye, but im sure there must be an easier way.
Is there a way to get the top of the type to site on the path as the sketch (second image below) ?
Ive also attached an .ai file if any one wants to play around with it. – https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngvexixdckftkpt/type-on-path.ai
Answer
- Select the Path with the type on it.
- Choose
Type > Type on a Path > Type on a Path Options - Check the Flip box
- Set the drop down for Align to Path to Ascender
Personally, if creating the circular badge style with type arching over the top and bottom, I prefer to set both type blocks to align to Center in the Type On a Path options. In this case, the only difference between the two type paths is checking the Flip box. It does create the need to possibly adjust the type paths to be a bit larger.
