[@hanavacraftydesigns-debbie9879]

Hi Troy, I watched your video on adding a shadow layer and it worked perfectly. Now I am trying this one and for some reason I cannot get it to put a circle on the page. When I click the circle button and hold the shift control keys it add a square with nothing in it. What am I doing wrong?

[@cppeekaboo]

HEY TROY! Your videos are GREAT! THANKS!
Do you have an index for your video listings? Or is there a secret way to find what you're searching for?
QUESTION needing HELP PLEASE!!
HOW do you copy from display space to inkspace to tweek and then return it to display space?
Take care!

[@BarryFence]

Thanks, Troy!

[@fit2fiddle2]

Thank you so much!

[@stanleymashek1514]

very helpful thanks

[@gigimarie2732]

Thank you...very understandable. Knowing this for Inkscape and although not exactly the same, I was also able to figure it out in GIMP as well.

[@seanlive6975]

Good job!

[@mandycoleman4656]

Thanks for this great video but Once I save and up load as a vector file into design space I loss the curve of the word I've tried several times but can't get it correct !!! I don't know what I'm doing wrong...... I need to master this ASAP for a friends wedding very soon, HELP PLEASE :-))

[@ssergeant9682]

[@hanoverview]

You are my hero :)

[@Raven-rs4jy]

you can snap (+) to center of object from snap menu

[@johnrachal8838]

Hey Troy, Awesome video, but i still need help, im trying to do the same thing but with text within the same circle. but you can read it separately from left to right. in other words the text on the top the center is arched north / the text on the bottom is arched South but there both in the same circle reading from left to right.

[@AhmedSadeq-rt9il]

Thank you bro

[@rinjaminbutton]

thanks for the tip! It would be legit if they just made an update with a "curve text tool"

[@TroyTube]

try TroyGram.com

[@lynnharrison3429]

Troy, first, thank you very much for making these videos. They have helped me tremendously. I am actually starting to branch out and do some creations on my own. I do have a question about text around the curve. Let's say I need the text to be on the top from left to right on the outside of the curve....no problem. The next text needs to also go from left to right, but it is on the bottom of the curve or circle. You can flip the text to be on the inside of the curve, but how do you, or can you get that text on the outside of the circle? What I have been doing is making my circles bigger in order to get the text on the bottom of the circle to fit. I believe this was asked about 3 months ago, however I did not see an answer. Thank you again for your videos. They are very helpful.

[@loofluther1650]

Do it on 2 layers.

[@baslielalene4702]

Thank you.

[@bizymare]

Hi Troy. Thank you for your videos. They are always helpful. Just beginning with this one and I have a question. When I undo the fill on the circle in the beginning, there is no circle line left so the page is blank. What button or option do I obviously have turned off when I open Inkscape? Thanks!

[@TroyTube]

Do these videos first. th-cam.com/play/PLydh2cGCHIMbQWegaGMLsFXYGQSx1SPTm.html

[@turboedredhead89]

I love this video! I was able to figure everything out so simply! But when I tried to import my image into my program only bits a pieces showed up... was it something I did wrong with the saving process?

[@TroyTube]

Dani Greenhalgh Make sure you did the object to path function

[@nickywood2433]

Fantastic video thank you so much, I am trying to do the same thing with a cursive font (Samantha) I am having problems with the lettter's not being joined up (hope that makes sense) How do I get around this problem?

[@TroyTube]

+Nicky Wood What you want to do is pay attention to the spacing (kerning) that I show you how to adjust. Use the ALT + the left and right arrow key between each letter to adjust the spacing. Once you put the words on a path that's curved like that it will space them funny depending on whether it's on the inside or outside of the curve.

[@trustgaming_shorts]

P E R F E C T !

[@thomaspaul311]

Great video for a beginner (like me).

[@TamaraCuthbert]
