Hi,
I'm creating a new poster where all the copy follows a diagonal basegrid (see image attached for reference).
Due to the size of the title, this would be split in 3 or 4 lines and I wondered if there is a way to allow the full copy to follows the same path tool. At the moment, when I select the + for the copy, this is placed on a box text and doesn't follow the path.
Thanks,

Did you try Shear Tool?
Shear and Rotation angles can be adjusted in Control Panel, entering exact numbers.

- Start by drawing a series of diagonal lines.
- Convert each line to a 'Type on a Path' line, by clicking on the line with the Type on a Path tool.
- Start typing on the first line. When you get to the end of the line, select the Selection tool and click on the Out port.
- With the loaded text icon, click somewhere along the line. Ensure you see the 'link' icon before you click.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 or each line.
