And that will slice the vector at that location.Īnd then we'll do the same thing on the other side, right click, cut vector and now you'll see, these are two separate vectors. So if there's already a node, like in this case, somewhere near the center, you can right click on that node and click cut vector. So if you type the letter N on the keyboard that will open up your node editing. And in order to cut it in half, we're gonna go to the node edit mode. So let's close this tool and we're gonna select the heart shape. So we first need to cut this vector in half. But right now we just have one closed vector. So the option we wanna use is called between two curves, and that's gonna distort our text in between two open vectors. And in here we have three options, but none of these three options are gonna work with a closed vector.

So in the transform objects, you'll see the option for distort selected objects. And in order to get the text inside of the shape we need to use, what's called the distort tool. And then from here, we can scale this, we can rotate it, you can change it around if you like, but I'm gonna leave it just as it is here.Īnd I'll just move it down some, so we don't have the overlap. And if you double click on it, it will insert it right into the center of your project. So for our heart shape, we can go to panel number 20 and you'll see this heart shape here. You can import external shapes, or you can go to the clip art library and open up the clip art folder, and then you'll see a 2D Vector folder.Īnd in here, you'll see a lot of common shapes that you can use.

So you can either draw your own custom shapes. Okay, now we need a shape for the text to distort inside of. So you can leave that whatever it's at there and click Close. And the text height doesn't matter too much because it will be distorted. And you can see this is a pretty standard font, but if you wanna get fancy with a cursive font or something, you can change that as well. So I'm gonna turn my caps lock on and type in love. And you could choose any font you would like that you have installed on your computer.Īnd then up in the text box, I like to use all caps because it distorts better. So let's do our text first, so we're gonna go to the draw text tool. And to start off, we need text and we need a shape. For this example, I'm gonna do 20 by 20 inches and I'm gonna click Okay. So we're gonna set up a simple single-sided project. So let's start off with a brand new project and this can be done in Cut2D, VCarve, or Aspire. So this can be done with any text and any shape, and you can see for this example, we're gonna be using a heart shape with the word love, and then we're gonna show you how to complete this project. Hello everyone in this lesson, we're gonna look at how to distort text, to fit inside of different shapes.
