Inkscape Tutorial by heathenx: Place Text Around a Circle

[Tapewormz]

I don't know why, but when I try to do this, the text always gets put to the inside of the path and not the outside.

[darthkarr]

how do you add circular text to a already circular image?...like on a state flage/seal...you have double circles with text written inbetween the lines

[Derathor1989]

This was very helpful. Thank you.

[GnosisMan50]

you could have put a gun to my head and there was no way I would have figured this out by reading the e book -or any other book! THANKS!!

[shoresh92]

I have a problem, when I follow your steps, the curvature of text and circle are different! Any suggestion how to fix it?

Thanks for your useful video!

[OregonDARRYL]

Thumbs up brother. Nice work.

[Linkvier]

WOW, Thanks!

Very helpful :)

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm not using it on the circles, but on a bent line. All works, but when I press Alt+right arrow, it takes aaaaaages for it to get where I want! Anyone have a solution for this?

[shoopshoop80]

Im using Mac and it's not working. Holding shift down does not select both the circle and the text. Are the keyboard shortcuts different?

Good video. However, some things did not work for me. What would be helpful , is at the beginning of each tutorial, you specify the version number of the software you are using as well as the platform (Mac/PC/Linux) and the OS you are running on. That way, we can figure out what the differences are and potential sources of problems. Thanks

thanks dude !

Nice tutorial, but for centering the text I'd recommend just rotating the circles, since using kerning for this can be a little awkward if you need to rotate the text backwards (letters disappearing and stuff).

[SailingCartagena]

Not at all sure how you put the second text object in, when I click it selects everything, can anyone help

[mooma53]

Woah.. I can hardly believe I did this! This was such a great tutorial. My first inkscape thingy. You rock heathenx.

[mooma53]

OOps ignore that question. I found a little circle in the top bar which when clicked allows the circles. sheesh..

[mooma53]

Here's the thing. First time using inkscape after download. Can't get a circle! Can get anything else but not a circle. Any ideas why?

[akaKUWAIT]

what software is this

[eha1990]

Awesome tutorial. Are you running Windows or Linux by the way? This is exactly what I was looking for. Do you recommend any good books on how to use Inkscape?

[kilikinho]

Thank you supporting the community

[jarrks]

Thank you! This really helped me. I still don't know why I have to do dynamic offset when I need to place text into circle, but it works.

[shrinux]

Thanks,

You are making Incscape easer :)

Keep good work.

[LutherRay]

Very good job. Much better than the manual.

[Muunstruk]
