HOW DO I GIVE TEXT AN OUTLINE?

HEY ER'1!!

i want to give some text i am creating for a design i am doing an outline. what im actually trying to do is create a stencil of text to paint onto a surface. im going to convert it into a vector so i can then export it into my plotter software, but i cant figure out how to give the text an outline (kinda like VARSITY style has a thick border around it and u can change the color of that border).

can someone please help?

  • Hi,

    The best way would probably be to create a contour using the contour tool. Select your shape and click on the contour tool which is on the toolbar on the left towards the bottom, or got to effects > contour on the menu. The contour toolbar will appear for that tool above. These are the properties for it such as Inline, oultine, fill color etc.

    Apply the effect to the shape with desired settings.
