With CorelDRAW X3, it's never been easier to attach text to a path with precision — a common effect used in creating signs and logos. The interactive Fit Text to Path tool lets users simply select text, move the pointer along a path, and click to set the text's position. Users can also easily control the text's offset distance from the path. In addition, users can scale the text after it has been placed on a path by simply selecting both the text and the path and dragging one of the handles.
