To alter text on your design, begin by clicking the text to select it. Then from the Edit Text tool panel you can alter the text object’s.

Color

Click the color block to open the color palette. Next, change the text color by clicking on an ink. When you are done, click the close button when you’re done.

Size

Click the text to select it. Resize the text by clicking and dragging the square nodes that appear at the corner of the text object. You may also change the font size by dragging the size slider.

Curve

Text can be arced or curved by specifying a value from -360 to 360 in the Arc field or by dragging the arc slider. The arc value is in degrees with a value of 0 for flat text and 360 for a full circle. Positive values create a downward curve while negative values curve the text upwards.
