BLNG Assistant

Text

The Text tool places editable type on the canvas: labels, product copy, and any wording your design needs. Text is an object like any other, so you can move, scale, and rotate it, and restyle it at any time.

Placing text

The Text tool places editable type on the canvas. Select it (T), then click on the canvas (or drag out a text area) and start typing. How you place the text sets its box mode:

  • Click to place text that grows with what you type, "Dynamic text size".
  • Drag out a box to set a fixed width the text wraps inside, "Fixed text width".

You can switch between the two modes any time with the toggle in the text action bar. Like any object, text can be scaled and rotated with its handles.
