Text on Path: how to make the text centered?
-
Hi,
I can't seem to find a way to make sure the text on a path is centered on a path. For example, I draw an ellipse, and put a text on it.
In this case, it looks centered, but I have to eyeball it. I tried using the Align Center from the formatting context bar, but then it jumps to this position:
-
@Gremriel If the text shape (aka point text) was created separately (not on a path with the text on path tool), then the Text -> Text on Path command will do the centering by default.
If the text shape is created on a path with the text on path tool, then a few settings must be adjusted:
- first align text to center, this will place it somewhere depending on the starting position, and the shape.
- then select Text -> Text on Path command (with the text shape selected).
- check the Radial Position and set the Position to 0, and confirm.

Thank you.
