[amayausers] Re: flame font, correct file

Roland,

The Color Wrap is only going to work when lettering is the only object in the file, as it will effect all objects in the design. The method you used of converting to wire frame is one method to achieve what you wanted, the other is add a color change between the letters, but as you cannot wrap them, then you have to follow the colors in the setup and set them accordingly. To be honest, it is going to produce too many color changes in either method chosen. Converting to wire frame, then re-pathing so each color sews completely, then color change to the next color and sew it completely is going to be the best method. Now, that is still going to produce a bunch of trims unless you move the letters close enough together so that is you do not trim between them some of the colors, it will not be noticed. In this type of an alphabet, I am not sure it would be possible to do that except on one of the colors.

This is the nature of the alphabet you chose, and also the direction of the lettering.

As far as moving the ' in between the e and the s, it is going to be easiest to break it into wire frame, then move it, and I also believe you may want to move one or the other to space them a little different as well.

Anyone looking at the file I posted earlier, you won't find the lettering on
it...I posted the wrong file!
Here is the correct one with the 'flame' lettering and how I handled it...
still want to know if there is any way to get the 3 color 'wrap' done
properly WITHOUT screwing up the rest of the design!
