Even though the function is called "Put on Path" it works equally well with circles and most other basic shapes. There's no need to turn the circle into a path. In this case: draw a rectangle that covers the letters but doesn't touch the circle select both the rectangle and the emblem Path > Intersection. Usually you get a cleaner and better result using Boolean operations. I would also steer clear of the eraser tool.
You were on the right lines with 'Break apart', but without a better understanding of what that's actually doing, and why/how you would want to use it, it's likely to confuse rather than help. red for the text, green for the circle), and only setting them to black once you've got everything in the right position.Īs for the emblem itself: yes, you can break it apart to turn the border into a path, but it's more complex and less accurate than just drawing a new circle.
I also recommend using colours that stand out (e.g. By using a stroke and no fill on the circle you can more easily see if the text is being put inside it rather than outside (in which case flip the circle horizontally or vertically). Start by just trying to put text on a circle (with a thin stroke and no fill) on another part of the canvas, well away from the emblem. I also tried Break Apart, but then the symbol does not look the same, it is all blacked out and you can't see anything.įirst of all, forget the emblem entirely.
I did the Trace Bitmap, showed all the nodes, so it should be able to be split up and the pieces stand on their own, I tried Ungroup, but it just wont split up. (Is there no way to ungroup the emblem, turn the border/cricle around it into a Path and then put my text on that) I tried the above but it did not work
The text disappeared (so black text disappeared into the black circle, I think)Īnyway, what am I doing wrong? How can I fix it. Next I selected the big blacked out circle and the Text box with the Psalm in it at the same time. Next I used the Text tool and opened up a box and cut and pasted my Psalm into the Text area I took the circle tool and used what was left of the outside circle after the eraser and used it as a guide for creating a big blacked out circle over the emblem. I took the eraser and erased most of the outside circle of the emblem I could not get it to work because I am leaving out something.
