For example, we could have started with a single circle shape, made the fill color None, made a copy for our Text on Path work, then increased line width of the original to a large number, say 40 to 50 pts, then added the triangles. We could also have done all the text at once in a long string, adding spaces in between word groups as needed to get them spaced properly around the circle. Neither one of the methods is inherently any better, though one may seem easier for you. | ||
