Wrapping text around a shape is simple with the ‘Put on Path’ function and if your wrapping text around a circle you can flip the text from the outside to the inside of the path by flipping the circle – but is there a way of flip the text on an asymmetrical(or nonsymmetrical) shape? Yes, and in this video, I show you how. I’ll also be showing you how to overcome the problem of text disappearing when you go passed the last node in your path. This video does use the adjustment features of the text tool, so if you’re not familiar with all the functions of the text tool, you may find it helpful to watch this video to get you up to speed:
