adobe illustrator - Flip type when its on a path, AI CS5


I'm putting some type on a path, a circle; but when I do it, the type is upside down. How can I flip it so it reads the right way up? See image below:


Type upside down on a circle



Answer



I remember struggling with this in CS3. I think the same fix will still apply in CS5.


So here's what to do...






  1. First you create the type as you did in your example.

  2. You should see 3 small stripes outside of your circle. ( 2 with a small square on it, and 1 without the square) These are just indicators for where the text starts and ends enter image description here

  3. grab the selection tool, and drag the stripe without the dash inside of the circle. enter image description here




now your type should be on the inside of your circle, and facing the right direction :D


Hope this helped ;)
