Question

Type on path moves when resizing objects

I have created a suite of icons that have live type on a circular path. When I resize these (by dragging the corners) the type jumps off its original orientation and I have to reset it again - see screen grab.

 

This doesn't happen if I scale it using the % field and I need the type to be live in order to develop more icons.

 

I have had this trouble for many years and just manually reset them all. Any one have any suggestions??

Hello @GriffinGrace,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I tried replicating this on my end but was unable to do so. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact details of your workflow, if Illustrator behaves this way with all files and, if not, a public link to a sample file after uploading it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., and a screen recording of the entire workflow (https://adobe.ly/44XSf3G), so we can investigate this further?


Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hi Anubhav
It happens on every file that has type on a path.


My workflow in the instance of the recording:
- I copied and pasted from my master artwork.

- held Shift to scale and dragged the corners out.

 

Once it has flipped, I have to manually set each icon back up again.

Hi @GriffinGrace I'm curious, were these originally created in Illustrator Desktop, Web or iPad?
