Custom Shapes for Text on a Path In addition to the Path Text shapes already installed with your Pacesetter BES Lettering 2 software, you can create and save your own shape, using the Edit baseline command. You are also able to change the characteristics of the anchor points when in Edit baseline mode; you can convert the anchor point to Line, Cusp, Smooth, or Symmetrical. See "Changing the Anchor Point Type". To create a custom path: 1 Select the Path Text tool and use it to create a text segment. 2 With the Path Text still selected, right-click and choose Edit baseline from the options menu. The baseline shape appears along the bottom of the text, showing the anchor points (blue squares). 3 To add new anchor points to a Path Text baseline, do the following: Right-click on the line. From the context menu that appears, select Add Point. A new anchor point is added to your baseline. 4 Click and drag the anchor points and direction lines to modify the shape of the baseline.
