To separate the text from the path, just use Unflow or press Shift+ Alt+ W. Manual adjustment can still be done on the text after this. Word-wrapping is automatically done so that the text fits the shape as precisely as possible. The Flow into frame Alt+ W command of the Text menu takes any selected text and puts it into the selected shape. The Text -> Remove from Path command converts a text-on-path into a regular text object. When you move the path, its attached text moves with it however, you can move the text away from its path or transform it without losing the link.

If the text doesn’t quite fit (it starts at the beginning of the path and gets cut off at the end) you can undo, resize and try again.Ħ. and then made it invisible (unlike the clip function, with this function you still see the line after you put the text on the path, so if you don’t want to see it, make it invisible). draw a path using the bezier curves tool, curving it to follow your line. (You can click the text in Inkscape to jump to it in the XML Editor. To make the curve happen, select both the text and the path. Also note that I drew this line from left to right, which will make then text curve to the top. I’ll just use the Pen tool and draw a simple curved line.

Write your text, choose the font you want to use and size it so it will fit where you want it to go.Ģ. In Inkscape, open the XML Editor Ctrl + Shift + X. front part of beautiful paid options so keep playing with inkscape text in circle into the path can see your attention.
