Rotating the text

[AaronzDad]

Well I can rotate the whole line of text as one image but I want to rotate each letter individually. Can I do this? I've tried using the cursor button to select letters singly but when I click on the rotate buttons it still affects the whole line of text.

Any suggestions? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Yeah... that's what I'm after... I have to do it one letter at a time don't I?

Yeesh...

Thanks for your help though! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Here's the solution

tutorial web pages

If I understand it you are after this effect. If this is what you want I will do a tutorial web page as the explanations simple enough but a bit long winded

If your using Xara 3D4 you can rotate each character around itself if you open the "animation options" window (an A with a circular arrow above it) and choose "rotate 2" style. Hope this helps

It shouldnt be a problem. Do you want all the text angled the same or at different angles? I,ve included a file with the text at different angles, but text at the same angle is even simpler
See 2nd attachment.

You can download a beta version of Xara X from I/US free of charge at the momment. It time expires on the 10th October (if I remember correctly) otherwise any paint or vector program with layers should import the animated gif

I want it rotated but stationary. Animated gifs are for amatuers.

Thanks for the thought though. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]
