[solved] Write text on cylinder?

Postby Louise » Mon Jan 14, 2008 8:57 am

Dear readers,

I have made this svg figure of a cylinder
http://www.mediafire.com/?7yn215mt21i

and I would like to write text on the cylinder, so it looks like a label on a can.

Can anyone help me with this? :D

Lots of love,
Louise

WOW! That's an amazing toturial!!!

There seams though to be a small error in section 2c.

Code: Select all

Open the path up by selecting the two side nodes and clicking on the    (Split path) icon in the Tool Controls.


It should say something like:

Code: Select all

Open the path up by selecting the top node and a side nodes and clicking on the    (Split path) icon in the Tool Controls and then Delete. Do the same for anagin for the other side node.


But thanks again for this link!! :D :D

Hugs,
Louise
