Align objects or text on a curved path

I have a variable number of lines of text, I would like to organize along a semicircle. I would like the text to look like each text string is radiating from the circle (the way I like a semicircle).

I would do this in adobe illustrator

I would like that text to be spaced along the path depends on the number of lines of text I.

I've seen other discussions suggesting the mixing tool or brush tool. But both of these ideas does not really help me. The mixing tool would create shapes distorted in the meantime, twist and distort the text. The Brush tool would make each a little 'conical' text, and I'd rather have the text without such a "cone-shape.

I enclose a photo that shows half my intentions. In this pattern I began to turn the first 4-5 lines of text. I have plus-chaines of text (just at the top of the semicircle) I would also like to include the path indicates the semicircle.

The ultimate goal is to get each of these raditing of local-names of the advice contained in the little red tree.

Is this possible in illustrator to align text on a path like that? It is almost similar to normal objects align and distribute objects.

I'm working on a Mac OSX 10.5 Adobe Illustrator CS3.

Thanks in advance for your time and helpNJtree_fullmtDNA_02.jpg

You can use it too. In the image below, I typed the letter I with the Type on a path tool. The character Panel gives the full control of the distribution of the letter using kerning (space between two letters) and follow-up (space between letters) and also the height of the letter. Then, a brief text, separate, a compound path > Release and use the paths described in the letter, I paste each line of text on them. Smart Guides will make this easier.

Edit: if it's just a circle or part of it, you can use the suggestions in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/992211?tstart=0

  • Is it possible to create a text on a curve path in Photoshop 6.0 (Windows)?

    Hello

    I'm new to Photoshop and Yes... I use a very old version of Photoshop (i.e. Photoshop 6.0).

    I wanted to know:

    If it is possible to create a text on a curve path in Photoshop 6.0 (Windows)? If so, how?

    Note that I don't want to create wraped text (using the Arc etc..).

    Specifically, I want to type text along the bottom of a circular image.

    I checked the various blogs that explain how do to the newer versions (or MAC version) Photoshop.

    I use the version of Windows.

    Thank you... I appreciate all the help!

    Looks like you're out of luck.  Text on a path arrived with CS (Photoshop 8)

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop_version_history

    I doubt anyone here will be able to test it with such an old version, but the things that come to mind create each letter on its own layer of text and using the transformation that is free to rotate and position.  Something else will produce bad bad results - unless someone else has a better idea.

  • Align objects in traces of text?

    Hi all

    I don't know if it is possible at all in Illustrator, but I want to align objects to text paths. Look at the following example to get an idea of what I mean.

    I start with something like a circular hierarchy, I receive as an output to another program. Here are the only lines and text. Now, I want to add a flag behind the text. This indicator should have the same orientation as the path of the text.

    bsp1.png

    As this hierarchy is actually quite big (it is only an excerpt), I don't want to turn all the flags manually. I tried to do it manually with the example below, but it always looks right...

    bsp2.png

    Did someone knows if there is a good method to rotate the indicators according to the orientation of the text paths in Illustrator? Any help is very appreciated!

    I don't know way more automated than to do it manually. However you can do accurate rotation using smart guides. Assuming that the text is on-line (no), this is how I would do:

    Check in the view menu, there is a check mark in front of guides (Ctrl + U)

    A selected text object, choose the tool rotation (R), find and click on the anchor in the text object that will be in the lower left corner if the text is not aligned. Smart guides will show an 'Anchor' tag when the mouse cursor is on it.

    Then, away from the anchor point, click and drag the path of the text object to turn up to this only aligned horizontally or vertically to the artboard, which will be indicated by the Smart Guides showing a straight horizontal or vertical.

    Hold down the CTRL key temporarily switch to a selection tool and click on with the flag that you want to rotate.

    Release the Ctrl key to return to the rotation tool and press the Enter key on your keyboard to get the rotation dialog box.

    Replace the positive Angle value if it is negative and negative if it is positive and press the OK button. On a pc can do all this step with three keys on the keyboard instead of the mouse if you first press the Home button, then Delete or less to change the value of the positive or negative and finally press ENTER to apply and close the dialog box. The flag is now shot with the same angle as the orientation of the original text.

    Cut (Ctrl + X) flag and undo (Ctrl + z) repeatedly until you return to the orientation of the original text.

    Paste (Ctrl + V) to get a copy of the flag rotated and position it in place. I see that your skills with position flags are much better than the alignment of direction and I don't think that you need a more complicated way to do.

    Don't think that "hierarchical" not... think "trace". You can overlap paths while doing so it won't make any differnce in the end. There is no reason that you should only follow the outside of the shape. Overlap the paths when necessary to continue the curves.

  • How to align objects in a path while scattering objects in space even with a decrease in size?

    Hello

    I am facing following problems:

    I'm suppose to draw a spiral, and on this path I want to align a symbol to her (in my case a circle).

    Now, I've found two ways how to him.

    First of all, I can use the brush palette and then apply my symbol to it. but the problem is the size circles are the same, but I need the circle to get the smaller toward the center of the spiral

    Second approach I took, I have used the merge options between two objects that I attach also a path. So I could solve the problem on the reduction of the size but has now another problem appear: the gaps between the circles are not same. I would like to have the same spaces.

    So now my question is: How can I fix this my problem?

    To better visualize my problem, you can consult this screenshot here: http://goo.GL/PEvZI

    If anyone can give me a tip or a trick, I would be very appreciation there.

    Thanks in advance...

    You're welcome, Natla.

    As in many cases, it makes a big difference what is the exact task, and the responses reflect the understanding of it.

    As I understand the images and explanations, it would take a linear growth of the circles, distributed with a constant, possibly no zero distance between them.

    From the I proposed a way to get a linear growth of the circles, with a constant distance (zero or not zero) between them, which would operate independently the proportions, so things could be adjusted.

    The effect of transforming, as suggested by James, gives a more simple solution to the simpler task of exponential growth of circles and zero distance between them; with different proportions it will give increasing distance, or overlap.

  • Wrong with the alignment of the text because of the Bounding Box (SC6)

    I'm fighting to properly align the text because the selection boxes are not centered around the text.  Why, when I try to align on another object, it is turned off.  I use CS 6 and, as a general rule, the point tool and type.  I have read other forums that suggest that it could be the type of policy (which perhaps they are 'bad' fonts), but apparently not any type of police I use.  The framework encompassing always has extra space under the text, even when you use a very standard font such as Times New Roman.  Anyone can shed some light on this?  Thank you very much!

    Sarah

    Sarah,

    1. in the preferences, select "use Preview Bounds."

    2. Select the text you want to align.

    3. go to effect > path > describe the object.

    4. align

  • Is there a reason why certain numbers automatically generated do not align with the text?

    I'm building a small book in InDesign and generated chapter numbers only display correctly aligned with the text of the chapter into two chapters. In others, they are slightly lower than the base line and print that way. They all use the same format title and list paragraph. (I even checked the Master Pages for objects that drag may interfere and see nothing.) Someone has seen this and can point me to a solution?  The original document was from the Pages converted to MS Word, so I tried to see if there are some strange characters which came with the conversion, but as you can see on the screenshot below, nothing shows up. Any help to identify the problem or a cure would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is a chapter that is displayed not correctly, and it is the base character Format options.

  • Text of the curve alongside a banner

    Hello

    I am a beginner. I bought a document of Adobe Illustrator-the box containing a green banner (among others). I want to put the text inside this banner, like this:

    banner1.png

    But I want this text to be curved at the sides of the banner. I looked at the menu of Adobe Illustrator and I found an envelope Warp tool, and I chose Arc - 6%:

    banner2.png

    The problem is that Arc-6% is not accurate. I can close the exact percentage by trial and error, but is not a solution for me, because I have to make several banners, with different texts, and the percentage change each time with the length of the text.

    How to curve the text more precisely?

    You can use the Type on a path. Simply duplicate the banner, select Direct and remove the two anchor points higher, value none the background and outline and use the text tool to click on the path and start typing. Adjust as required.

  • cannot align objects in illustrator. not as simple as it sounds...

    Until today, I worked in fine illustrator. I could break one object to another, during the development of the lines, line segment end anchor points may break easily, align objects to anchor points as I paint, etc... Now, this isn't the case. Also, before I could right click in the middle of something, and he would choose it, now I have to click on the actual path that surrounds it and the object.

    I work with CS4 Windows. I went to the 'View' menu and ensure that "nod to the point" is turned on, it is. I even tried to line up on the grid. None of this works.

    Please, any help would be appreciated. Thank you
