  hi guys, just a quick question, how do I change the direction to reading from the left to right instead of right to left like on the picture , THANKS!

Someone else had asked about switching the vertical text to left-to-right in this thread. There I included a workaround that might help you too.

Hi,
I wanted to know, how did you made this effect ?
Because when I do it, my letters are reversed and I don't know how to do it like you do.
Thanks

How was this created raezmonei??

Hi @Twinkl34379783z13l,

It seems like the text was created by typing it backward, from right to left. After typing the text in reverse, the user used the "Reflect" tool in Illustrator to flip the text horizontally, making it appear as if it was written from left to right. This is a common technique to achieve a mirrored or flipped text effect in design software like Illustrator.

If you have any specific questions or if there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask!

Best,

Anshul Saini

The reflect tool only reflects the glyphs, thus making the letters backwards. Please explain how you did this.
