Hi Everyone,
I am trying to arc a unit number to follow the hood line of a Peterbuilt that I am lettering. I cannot find the right distort tool to accomplish what i am looking for. The Fit tool just doesn't seem "neat" enough.
Running 8.1. Any ideas or tips?
Thanks
Mike B

depends on what version of flexi you have. Click hold done on the T in the tools bar on the left and slide over to ark text tool or path text tool. Good luck

Sometimes I have cut it out in a straight line, then take scizzors and cut apart digits all except about ¼ " , bend to arc, tape on and stick one # at a time....ok if you don't have many to do.

Hi Folks,
Located just outside Dubuque, IA. I figured it out. Several differne ways, all resulting in slightly differnt end result. I enned up doble clicking my text and then distorting it right and left and up and down. Actually had the best end result.
Thanks everyone.
