  Text following a path adjustments

  Posted by Charles Green on August 16, 2011 at 12:03 pm

  Hi all.

  I made some text folowing a path and noticed it always follows the path based on how it’s drawn (in point to outpoint). Is there a way to change the in and out point of a path or the alignment of the text to the path? I added a image to explain what I mean. Both paths was drawn from point A to point B and in both cases I would like the text to appear on top of the line.

  Thank you in advance,

  Charles

  use the Hollow arrow AKA “White Arrow” and click and drag the T. Look at the attached image.

  this allows you to change which side of the path the type will appear on… this also work for the end of the type as well.
